The name has diflerent forms: de la More, de More, More, Mora (Lalinizid

Constable of Porchester Castle, under the Karl of Arundel. There was a Eerkshiie 
family of de la More or de la Mare. Towards and during the reign of Oueeii 
Klizabelh, 1559-1603, the name was shortened to More. When the Ivnglish

6 INTRODUCTION 

Rev. J'iliii Moore and his desceiidauts invariably use the double o and final e. 
No signature has been discovered by the compiler spelled otherwise, allhongh in 
the body of legal instruments it has been spelled More, Moore, Moor, often two or 
tluL-e ways in the same document. Difliculties have been met in investigating early 
colonial records from the frequent change of the German Mohr to Moore. Families 
occupying contiguous plantations, in New Jersey particularly, frequently spoke dif- 
ferent languages, although bearing the same name. One valuable work on the gen- 
ealogy of a section of New Jersey has included some of the descendants of Rev. John 
Moore among the Germans. These descendants are really of pure Knglish stock. 

As to ll.c meaning of the name, various conjectures have been made. In 

Northumberland and Cumberland Counties, in England, there were lands calk-d 

"The Moor," and their occupants were called " de la Moor." If the family is of 

„ , I'rench origin, de la Moore would suggest th.it their ancestors 

I he M c a n i 11 i" . . 

ut tKi: N ni ■ came originally from Morocco, the country oi the Moors. 1 he 

assumption of the Saracen's head as a crest would also suggest 
this origin, but it was not uncommon to select a symbol for the family crest as a 
play on the name. The Moor's head would naturally present itself as appropriate. 
Other families, of whose origin there could be no doubt, used the same sign, and 
it was a frequent indication of a house of entertainment. If the name is of Anglo- 
Saxon origin, it may be derived from marc or inotc, greater in any way, or lioin 
7nor, a hill, meaning in one case, grc.it, tall, large, and by an extension of meaning, 
chief, mighty, great, and in the other ca^e, an inhabitant of the hillb. But all 
these conjectures have little value on account of ilie great antiquity of the name. 
In looking into the history of the Scotch family, it is well to avoid the error of 
supposing that the suffix more, as in Angus Moie, Fergus More, McCallum More, 
is a surname. It has no other significance in these names than in Ben More, 
Loch More, Gleiimore, and simply means great. 

Kent County is claimed by the family as the original English home of the 

ancestors of Rev. John Moore. The compiler of this genealogy has not enleieil 

into an investigation of this subject. The purlieu!. ir family claimed* liad its 

Kent County E.ii!. headquarters from lauu to \^\\ at Bcueiidcn, Kent County.

iiamc of 11, c Ai.. Wyatt's rebellion against Oueen Mary and l^hilip, of Spain, had 

J ^o h n^'j.i'o a^T I, many adherents in Kent. Many residents were banished or 

removed to Ireland. In 1554 John More sold his place at Beneuden, and with his 

sons removed to Ireland. The following, condensed from Burke's Pi;erage, will 

help to follow the argument of Mr. Moore : 

Thuuia.s Moi>rei, Esq., of Benemk-M, Kent County, married and liad John-, Etij., who 
married Marj^.-iiL-t, daughter and heir of Jolin Hreiit, Ksq., and widow of John Derin{j, ICbij., of 
Suneiideii. Sir Hdward^, the eldest son, and Sir Thomas^ (of Croghan), settled 111 Jielaud in 
the reign of Oueeii Klizalieth, the former receiving the Aljl.ey of IV^llifunl, in Couiily bmith, 
uiarrieil Mihhed, daughter and co-heir of Nichola?. Clilfoid, hlsq., of Chan, Kent CcniMt}, hy 
wlioin he liad Sir Hdward^, Kl., eldest acjn, of Mellilont. Jlember ol t'ailiametit for Diingarvon, 
1613, created Haion Moore of Mellifoiit, July 20, 1616, Vi.M'ount Moore of Di.iglieda, Iv-hniary 
7, 1621, married Mary, daughter of Sir Ucury Colley, Kt. of Cabtle Cail/erry, County KiMaie, 
and die<l Noveinlier g, 1627. Charles'', the eldest son, second Viscount, w.is killed at i'oi tl.-ster. 
County Mualli, m the service of Charles I., August 15, 1643, having had as wife, Alice, the 
youngest daughter of Sir (liev..'') Adam I.oftus, Viscount \\\y . 

The arms claimed by the descendants of Rev. Jolin Moore belting to this 
house. There are branches of the same old himily in Norlhauiptcii County and 
in Norfolk County, and it is reported that the Chancellor's l:imi!yi arose frv^ai it; 
he left scenic descendants in O.\ford County and si^nic in Yorl.-.liire.

INTRODUCTION 7 

It is in connection with the Loflus family that an effort has been made to 
.show the descent of Rev. John Moore from the Kent County family. 

'•Cath.iriiic, a ilau^liler of Sir (Rev.?) Ailaiii Loluis, an liiijilibli family in Ireland, of 
scviiitccn children, connected by marriage' there with the Kiij;libh family of Jloore. man led 
.\rtliur llobliiiiie or Hostock, and had a daiijihler Mar},'aiel. One sister, Letitia, became the 
first wife of Kicliard I'arsons, sou of Sir William ; another, .\un, married Richard Parsons, sou 
of Sir Lawrence. 

".\rlluir Uostock was too unusual a name to be possessed by many at the same time. 
(Jiie of that name apiK-ared early at Southam|)tou. Uy report he came from Cheshire, Kiij;lanii, 
which was near Ireland. On 29 May, 1643, 1"° acres of land 'upon the jilain' were ordered 
for .\rlhur Uostock, to lye "ajjaiiisl Robert liond's west ' and aj^ainst Mr. Cosuier's 'eight acre 
loll north.' 

" Upon the division of the town, wlien it had forty-four male inhabilanti, into wards of 
eleven ]H.-rsons, bound to furnish two men from each ward to watch for an<l assist in securing 
uiiy whales driven on shore, R. Gosmer, Arthur lioslock, Henry I'ierson, John llaiul. Tlutnias 
llildreth, John Mulford. John Moore, KUis Cook, Robert lioini, l"ulke Davis, and Mr. Howe 
were named in the third ward. The date, as written, was 7 March, l6.j4, before liast Hampton 
was grantuu. In itj.15 Arthur Bostock had been appointed with Messis. Staiiborough and Barret 
to l.iy out the eight and ten acre lots upon the great i)lain. It seems he challenged Mr. Slaii- 
Loiough to light a duel, and it is i<robable he was tliereu|)on arrested and rcijuired to give bail. 
Mr. Cooper, of Southampton, and John Moore" beciiiie bouud in £$, 'unto the body of this 
towiie,' ciiiiditioiied ' that .Arthur liostock doe api/i .ir at the ne^t <iuarter court to bee luddeii 

October.' On the entry of the record of this, with no dale, it is noted that Arthur 

liostock made his appearance according to the recogiii/aiice.* 

"On 6 October, 16.16, 'Arthur Boslock was censured by the Couil of M.igislr:ites for 
ch.dleiiging Mr. Sl.mborough to fight with him, and to pay for the s,;yd olleiice unto the 
Towiie 'I'en shillings.' 

"This is a slight indication that John Mooie w.is of the Irish fimily. Many from Kent 
County gathered on that branch of L. I. ICaslluiniplon was first called Maiilslone. Tluie 
\>erc several at Soulhamptoii who came fiom Iielaiitl, nearly all linylishmeii, and probably 
Thomas llalsey aiul Richard Barret, called kinsman of Halsey's .son Uaiiiel, were of the 
nuiiiljer, as well as Hugh Celstou, Nalhauiel Uomiuy and John Kelly. "1 

The genealogy of the Loftus family shows the relationshii) attcnipttd to Ix; 
estahlished. Edward Loftus', J of Swineshead, County York, had two buns, Robert' 
and Rev. Adam", Archbishop of Armaijli, January 20, J 562-3, Lord Keeper of the 
Great Seal, 1578, and Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who died April 5, 1605, aged 
72 years. Robert'' had a son Adam', who was Lord Chancellor of Ireland, 1619, 
and Vi.scouut Loftus of Ely, 1622. Arthur^ grandson of Adam', died November 
6, 1735, without male i.ssue, leaving a daughter Jane', who married Charles 
Moore, Lord Moore, Earl of Drogheda. 

Rev. Adam Loftus', who died in 1605, married Jane I'urby, l)y whom he 
iiad twenty children, thirteen of whom survived, five .sous and eight daughters. 
Of the daughters, Alice' married Vi.scount Charles Moore; Dorothy', Sir Juim 
Mooie', who died 1633, of Croghan (Sir Thomas\ John', Esq., Thomas' j ; 
Catharine', Arthur Bostique, who had a daughter Margaret. 

The family of Loflus was also connected with the faimly of Gorges 
(George, Gorgas). Robert Gorges, D.C.L., married Jane Loftus. He was 
Secretary to Henry (^omwell. His descendants still live in Ireland. He had a 
sister Elizabeth, who died in 1668.S

In gathering materials for this book the compiler has been surprised at the 
uiianir.'.ity displayed by all branches of the family in claims as to their origin in 
Kent. M.uiy copies of arms have been sent to him from diiferenl br:inchcs in 
dilfereiit states, and Irom collateritl families, and they all agree. Napkins, with 
the arms woven in, seals, large i)ictures in colors, are in the possession of various 
uiembers of the family, some with liislories, but the majority simply labeli-il 
heirlooms. 

The inmiediate family ol Rev. John Moore remained at Newtown, witli the 
exception of Joseph', who settled at Southampton, Long Island. His grandsons 
took part in the great movement which resulted in the establishment of new 
U i s t ribujion of States. The sons of John' removed to New Jersey, John' appearing 
tliiiB^ev. Johii at Chesterlreld, Burlington County, as early as 1695. Thomas'' 
Mwofu » l-aiiiily probably removed to some place in New Jersey, but his identity 
has not been established. There were Moores of the name of Thomas at IClizabeth- 
tovvn and at Woodbridge. The sons of Captain Gershom' removed to New Jersey. 
Of the sons of Captain SamueP, some remained on Long Island, others .settled 
in Trenton, Maidenhead and Hopewell townships, in Hunterdon County, N. J., 
Nathaniel' appearing at Queen.-^lown (Pennington) in 1708. Of the New Jersey 
families r.i.iny went to the South and West, but every effort to discover the 
connectini-; links between them has lailcd. As will appear in the genealogy given 
later, sonie of the families tlisappear at the fourth and others at the fifth geut'ration. 
The h'renoh and Indian Wars will account lor the former, ami the Revolution for 
the hitter. In 1740 there was a movement of jjopulation from Hunter.ion County, 
New Jersey, towards the Southwest, under the leadership of Col. Boiden, alter 
whom Boidentown, N. J., was named. At Ilarbourtown, near J.umbcitvillc. 
N. J., there is a graveyard in which, th.'-re are many of the Moore name buritil. 
The people in the inmiediate vicinity have no knowledge of these families, and 
there Ins been discovered no w;iy of identifying them. We do know, however, 
that "The subject has interest, as no doubt it was the prime cause of the se])ara- 
tion of West Virginia from Virginia at a critical lime in our iiationa! historv. 
The same families aided largely in making Ohio a free stale Irom 17,S5 .nid later, 
and keeping Kentucky and Tennessee practically in the Union in 1.SO1. 'i^licrc

to Ohio, and from thence, carried by the stream of emigration, spread over the far 
West and South. The war between the States caused another distribution, and 
descendants are found everywhere. 

The history of the Church of New England is the history of the Colonies. 

Ministers with their congregations were the founders of the Colonies. In 1636 

Thomas Hooker and his congregation came to build Hartford ; the Dorchester 

The Moore congregation migrated to Windsor, Ct.; the Watertown congrega- 

Family and tion came to Wethersfield, Ct.; Southold was founded by the 

the Church Ngv^' Haven Colon}-, and Southampton bj- colonists from Lynn. 

In some colonies none but church members could vote and hold office. New 

Haven was an example. The magistrates were "the pillars of the Church." 

When New Haven was annexed to Connecticut many of its inhabitants removed 

to Newark, N. J., and founded that town, 1665-7. Connecticut was more liberal 

in her views, and allowed non-church members to vote and hold office.* 

In the matter of church government in New England, in early times the 
Independents or Congregationalists were pre-eminent, but later many Presbyterians 
came from Great Britain to escape religious persecution, and mingled with the 
early settlers. The Church of Newtown, Long Island, was not distinct from the 
town, and Rev. John Moore, its first minister, who was "permitted to preach in 
New England," was an Independent. The people of Newtown were "mostly 
Independents," although there were "many other Inhabitants, Presbyterians," 
who were "not able to maintain a Presbyterian preacher."! Rev. Mr. Urquhart, 
in a letter dated as late as July 4, 1705, says that "the Inhabitants of this county 
(Queens), are generally ludepen''*." 

It is certain that up to the time of Mr. Pumroy's call, Februarj- 18, 1709, 
ordained November 30, 1709, close intercourse was maintained with the Congre- 
gational Church of New England, and that all ecclesiastical business was transacted 
by the inhabitants in public town meeting. It was not until September 13, 1715, 
when Mr. Pumroy made application to the Presbytery of Philadelphia for admis- 
sion, that the church of this persuasion began in Newtown. Indeed, the distinctive 
feature of its church government was not established until June 28, 1724, when 
Content Titus, Samuel Coe and James Renne were made ruling elders. It seems 
to have been about this time that the Moore family divided in their ecclesiastical 
relations — a step of tremendous importance, made evident sixty years later, at the 
beginning of the revolution. 

Injudicious methods pursued by the authorities, which the people resented, 
prevented the establishment of the Church of England in the province of New 
York for many years. Lord Cornbury, in 1702, ordered that Domine Freeman be 
not called to the Dutch churches at Kings; summoned the church wardens of 
Jamaica, all non-conformists, to appear before him, among whom were Thomas 
Willet, John Coe, Content Titus, Joseph Sackett ; directed the rioters, that is, 
dissenters, there to be prosecuted ; commissioned Rev. Mr. Honyman to be 
minister of that place ; ordered the sheriff to eject Mr. Hubbard from the parson- 
age, and put in Rev. Mr. Urquhart ; directed the minister's money to be paid to 
the latter ; ordered a public tax to be levied for the support of the minister ; and 
finally fined the church wardens and vestrymen of Jamaica for refusing to obey 
his orders, March 31, 1705. J This "true nursing father to our infaucy here,"

would not tolerate "The Inhabitants of this County (who) are generally Indepcn'*, 
and what are not so are either Qtiakers or of no professed Religion at all, the 
generality averse to the discipline of our holy mother, the Church of England, 
and enraged to see her Ministry established among them."* 

The governor commissioned Rev. Mr. Goodhue to be Presbyterian minister 
of Jamaica, forbid Rev. Mr. Hubbard to preach in the church at Jamaica, and 
declared that it belonged to the Episcopalians. This "noble patron of the Church" 
failed in his efforts to force Episcopacy upon the people. The stormy pastorate of 
Rev. Thomas Poyerf followed, and it was under the ministrations of Rev. Thomas 
Colgan that the Church of England commenced to flourish. In 1733 a deed was 
drawn up for a part of the town lot for the location of a church, signed by ninety 
freeholders. Joseph Moore secured these signatures. In 1735 work was 
commenced upon the building, and five years passed before it was completely 
finished and furnished. The distribution of the pews gives the names of the 
prominent members :

In 1761 Newtown wished to have its own minister, apart from Jamaica and 
Flushing, and ou September 2, of that year, petitioned Lieut. Governor Colden, 
in Council, to grant them an act of incorporation by which they might be 
empowered to call a clergyman. This petition was signed by thirty-four members 
of the communion. They were : X

Thomas Morrell, Jun. 

In the letters patent, James Hazard and Richard Alsop were appointed 
wardens; Samuel Moore, Jacob Blackwell, William Hazard, Jacob Hallett, 
Richard Alsop 4th, and William Sackett 3d, vestrymen, to serve till the annual 
election should occur. This was the origin of the separate existence of St. James's 
Church. 

The emigrants from Long Island to New Jersey carried with them the idea 
of the church and schoolhouse. A deed§ dated March 18, 1698-9, recites the 
conveyance of one hundred acres of land by Gov. Basse and Thomas Revell, "for 
the erecting of a meeting-house and for burying ground and school house" to

"inhabitants of the said township aforesaid ; i.e.. Maidenhead and parts adjacent." 
Many of these names represent Newtown families. It is supposed that the first 
meeting house was erected at what is now Lawreuceville. Rev. Jedediah Andrews, 
of the First Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia, administered the rite of baptism 
at Maidenhead, N. J., in 1713 and 1714.* Rev. Robert Orr, the first pastor, was 
installed October 20, 17 15. The present churches of Ewing, Pennington and 
Trenton were in Hopewell Township, that of Lawrenceville was in Maidenhead.! 
The Hopewell Church is suggested in two deeds, dated April 20, 1703.5: 
The ground is about three miles from Trenton (Old Church). The Episcopalians 
occupied this site and sold the land in 1838. About 1709 the Hopewell Presby- 
terians took measures for the erection of a church within three miles of the one 
just mentioned. After the formation of the township of Trenton (1719-20), it 
was called the "Trenton First Church," and when Ewing Township was formed 
was named "The Ewing Church." The destruction of one of two ancient white 
oaks in the Ewing churchyard, June 3, 1852, suggested to Mrs. Esther Rodman 
Mcllvaiue the following lines, addressed to her grandchildren : 

Thou veneraVjle oak, the churchyard tree. 
With deep regret th)- broken form we see ; 
Two hundred years or more the storms thou braved 
Unharmed, while round thy head the tempest raved. 
A faithful guard through ail that time thou kept, 
Above the throng that 'neath thy shadow slept; 
The wild tornado's breath hath o'er thee past, 
And prostrate on the earth thou liest at last. 

In time remote two white oaks had their birth, 

Destined for many an age to grace the earth ; 

And here they stood wlien our forefathers came, 

To build an altar to their Maker's name. 

lien from afar — perchance beyond the deep, 

This place they chose, their Sabbath rest to keep. 

They built an altar of materials rude, 

Vnhewed the stone, and roughly dressed the wood ; 

'Twas blessed of Him, whose promised dwelling place 

Is where His people meet to seek His grace. 

Once in three weeks the stated pastor came. 

With gracious message in his Master's name ; 

Reciprocated all the greetings kind. 

Rejoiced in health and peace his flock to find. 

The morning service o'er, beneath your shade 

They ate their bread, and kind inquiries made — 

How fared it with the brother pioneers. 

What were their prospects, what their hopes and fears? 

What news from home — afar bej'oud the sea? 

l-'ight Hampden, Cromwell, still for liberty. 

Or to his kingdom is King Charles restored ? 

Has promised, but again to break his word? 

Has Scotland sheathed the sword, or does she still 

For conscience sake oppose her sovereign's will? 

Worship the faithful still in caves and dens. 

In forest deep, or wild secluded glens? 

For Wales who strikes to put oppression down, 

Who nobly dares to wear a martyr's crown? 

One to the other thus the tidings bore. 

Of clime and kindred they would see no more.

12 INTRODUCTION 

That duty done, once more to praise and pray, 

The church they entered — thus they spent the day. 

They sought religion first, man's greatest good. 

The path the fathers trod the sons pursued. 

Their children to the Lord in covenant given, 

They placed their feet in paths that led to Heaven. 

By precept and example, trained the youth 

In all the ways of honesty and truth. 

None cau.sed their parents or their country shame, 

Of them no record shows a felon's name. 

When war's dark storm across the country came. 

Bravely they faced it in their Maker's name ; 

With patriots' zeal their country's battle fought, 

Gained for posterity the boon they sought. 

That duty done, they left the camp and plain. 

And homeward turned to till their fields again. 

Time levels all ; the old church passed away — 

It .served a holy purpose in its day ; 

And faithful men a new foundation laid, 

Offeriugs of patient toil and substance made. 

Well wrought, the building rose by careful hands. 

Memorial of their zeal the church now stands ; 

And to this people, long the Lord hath given, 

Grace, foo<l, and peace, the richest gifts of Heaven. 

Old Trees ! when ye were young and small your shade. 

There at your feet a stranger form they laid : 

Now many others rest beside his bed. 

For many a mossy stoue the names disclose. 

Of Hart, Reed, Scudder. Howell, Clark and Rose; 

Hunt, Burroughs, Reeder, Hcndrickson and Green, 

Fish, Welling, Temple, Lanuing, Moore and Dean; 

Cook, Chambers, Carle and Muirheid, Furman, Lott, 

And hundreds without stone to mark the spot. 

These slow processions in their sad array. 

From age to age have traced their mourufid way. 

From this enclosure, consecrated ground. 
None shall awake until the last trump sound. 
One name on earth and one alone is given. 
Whereby this numerous host can enter heaven.* 

The time of the origin of the Hopewell Church, at Pennington, is not 

definitely known. Tlie meeting house is mentioned in 1725-6. 

" In viewing the history of this church,! we see an illustration of the fact 
that the original colonists of any region give direction, tone and character to the 
people gathered into that community, for centuries. The old Presbyterian churches 
of Jamaica, Newtown, and Hempstead had the moulding of the families who 
settled here. They did not neglect infant baptism. They brought with them an 
open Bible and the Salibath ; they planted the sanctuary and the school hou.se 
side by side, and called for the living preacher; and with divine grace in their 
hearts, they purposed to establish a free Christian home for them.selves and their 
children. Through their constancy, their labors and their prayers, this has been 
a spot peculiarly favored with heavenly influences." 

Before 1737 the Trenton people worshiping in the two houses, one in the 
city and one in the country, were organized into a separate congregation. t 

One mile west of Pennington is a graveyard on land upon which stood a 
Presbyterian church. This was the New Side Church. Rev. James Davenport is 
buried here. 

Education was not neglected by our ancestors. "Urged thereto by the 

founder of the independence of the Netherlands, William the Silent, Prince of 

Orange, the states general had adopted in the sixteenth century the system of 

The Moor* universal education, which in our days the New England States 

F a mlly and claim as their creation. Hence we find schools mentioned and 

£.ducatlon school masters at work from the beginning of New Netherland.

INTRODUCTION /j 

As early as 1663 we read of a Government schoolmaster who taught Latin and 
Greek."* Before 1540 the peasants in Holland could commonly read and write 
their own language. During the Sixteenth Century free schools supported by 
public taxation were subjects of legislation. t No surprise need, therefore, be 
shown that the subject was regarded of great importance, not only by the Dutch, 
but also by their neighbors, the English. The English may not have copied the 
idea of the public school from the Dutch, for as John Fiske justly observes : "One 
of the cardinal requirements of democratic Calvinism was elementary education for 
everybody." 

The town house of Newtown was probably not only a church and the 
residence of Rev. John Moore, but also a schoolhouse. After the death of Rev. 
John Moore, in a petition to Gov. Stuyvesant, the petitioners say: "Whereas, 
God hath been pleased of late years to deprive us of Middelburg, on Long Island, 
of the public means of grace and salvation, and also of the education of our 
children in scholastic discipline, the way to true happiness. "J Mr. Mills was the 
first schoolmaster who devoted his time entirely to teaching. 

May 20, i72i,§ Joseph Hallett executed a deed admitting Samuel Hallett, 
Samuel Moore, Joseph Moore, Thomas Skillman and Isaac Bragaw as joint 
owners, with himself, of a lot and house "to be equally enjoyed by them and 
their heirs severally, and me and my heirs forever, having all and everj' of us our 
heirs, and everj' of them the same equal share, right and title to the above said 
land and school house, and full power and authority to send what number of 
children we shall see fit." 

In 1734, at Hellgate Neck,** several persons combined and built "a small 
house for a school to be kept in for the education of their children." For this 
purpose, February 24, 1735, John Lawrence gave a deed for "one square rod of 
land" to his associates, among whom was Joseph Moore. 

"The people of Maidenhead and Hopewell," in New Jersey, made early 
provision for religion and education, in 1698-9, as already shown. The ground 
joining a part of the Pennington graveyard has been known from time immemorial 
as the school house lot. ft In 1731 mention is made of a proposed Latin school in 
connection with the purchase of a parsonage farm.Jt Wherever the family of 
Moore is found, they are represented in movements for the improvement of the 
moral and mental growth of the people. 

It is difficult to look back and even imagine the social conditions and 

surroundings of our ancestors. Occasionally, through an old letter, we get a 

glimpse of their life. The Maryland loyalists were encamped several times at 

Social Life Newtown. On September 16, 1783, this regiment left New York 

of the Moore for the Bay of Fundy, in the transport "Martha." The ship 

F iv m i 1 y was wrecked and more than half the corps perished. Some years 

after, the commanding officer in writing^i? to a friend, expressed himself in reference 

to his Newtown experiences : 

"I felt great regret at leaving New York, where I had enjoyed the pleasures of social 
friendship amid a circle of worthy inhabitants— yes, I look back often with heartfelt satisfaction, 
ou the delightful scenes, the heightened joys that filled up every day, even in the severity of

INTRODUCTION 



winter inotilhs, in the sweet village of Newtown, on Long Island, where we frequently had our 
(juarters and cantonments. I hope I may be indulged this small tribute of grateful remem- 
brance and afiection for many agreeable' families of that place : to the Moores, of that 
neighborhood, I am particularly indebted, a family ancient and respectable: to the charais of 
their company, to the hospitable intentions of their numerous connections, I owe many happy 
hours of festivity and innocent mirth. The Rev. Benjamin Moore had been long eminent in 
his pastoral functions, as a minister of the Episcopal church ; he is a clergyman of most 
amiable manners, humane, benevolent, affectionate; as much revered in private life as he is 
admired and distinguished in the pulpit. Yon will pardon this honest warmth of a susceptible 
heart. I could not omit this small tribute of gratitude for numerous proofs of affectionate 
esteem conferred on me by a worthy people." 

No better summing tip of the characteristics of the old families of New 
Jersey can be made than that given by a writer in Harper's Magazine :* 

"Placed in the geographical centre of the original States which were the germ of the 
Union, the people of New Jersey at this period united in an unusual degree the conditions 
requisite to the production of a faithful daguerreotype of our ancestors. They were free from 
the exceptional, and often transitory, local singularities or peculiarities of those living in the 
two extremes, and they shared those more numerous traits which formed the permanent 
substratum connnon to all. New Jersey was the highway of inter-communication by land 
between the other States, and there was constant social and commercial intercourse between 
its people and those of New York and New England on the one side, and those of Pennsylvania, 
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia on the other. Its eastern division, known as East Jersey, 
was largely peopled by settlers from New York and New England ; and its western division, 
West Jersey, by those from the adjacent colonies on the west and south. It derived its tobacco 
and many of its domestic fruits and vegetables from Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia ; its 
Quaker tenets, its phlegm and frugality from Pennsylvania ; its Dutch cupboards, Dutch 
language, and sturdy Dutch Calvinism from New York ; its jealous watchfulness for popular 
rigiits, its town-meetings, and much of its assorted variety of religious faiths, from New 
England ; and so blended the features of the other colonies into a harmonious mean as to form 
a fair microcosmic representative of them all." 

Although negro slaves were brought to New Amsterdam as early as 1625, 
perhaps the earliest suggestion we have of slavery on IvOng Island is found in a 
letter! addressed to the Directors of Amsterdam by the Magistrates of Gravesend, 
The Mooro dated September 14, 165 1. The letter^ of Rev. John Moore, from 
Family and Heempstede, is dated September 25, 1 65 1. A comparison of these 
Slavery Xfio letters will not only show a great difference in literary style, 
but in the spirit moving the two writers. The Gravesend letter "humbly requests 
your Honors to expend, in Negroes or Blacks, whatever means you, in your 
wisdom, will deem prudent, ... on condition of our paying you for the same, 
whatever you will order." And to make the request as strong and tempting as 
possible, adds "that your Honors will, thereby, have double profits; first, from 
what we shall pay for those Negroes; secondly, from the Tenths." The Heemp- 
stede letter suggests no such project, although the necessity of servants was as 
great in one case as in the other. 

Slavery came, originating in the scarcity of white labor. It "extended not 
only to the Negro, but to the free-born Indian, brought hither from the South. 
None seemed to view it as wrong, and slaves were found even in the ministers' 
families. But while they were bought and sold as a chattel, and though several 
instances of brutality towards them are recorded, their lives were protected by law, 
and to the credit of our fathers be it said they usually treated their slaves with 
much humanity. "§ In 1755 Newtown contained 91 male and 72 female slaves** 
above fourteen years of age. Jo.seph Moore, Esq., Samuel Moore, Esq., Lieut. 
Samuel Moore, John Moore, and Samuel Moore, sou of Joseph Moore, Esq., are 
named in the census as owners of .slaves at that time.

INTRODUCTION /j 

The history of slavery in New Jersey is similar to that of New York. 

Members of the Moore family owned slaves, and in several wills it will be observed 

that slaves were left to their children. The great awakening in reference to 

slavery is noted 9th mo. 2d. 1755, among the Friends of Kingvvood Monthly 

Meeting in New Jersey. On that date we find the following record : 

"Agreeable to the advice contained in the Extract of our Yearly Meeting the following 
Friends are appointed to visit those who hold slaves, neglect the attendance of meeting for 
divine worship, those who are subject to Drowsiness and those who violate our testimony 
against oaths."* 

Later, as the conscience of the people recognized the unrighteousness of 
slavery, many voluntarily manumitted their slaves. 

In all the early provincial wars, members of the family from New York and 

New Jersey are found fighting under their King. In the wars against the Indians, 

and in the French War, 1 755-1 762, members of both families served. f In 1690 

The Moore Family we have Captain Samuel Moore and Ensign Gershom Moore ; 

in Colonial Wars ill 1 700 Ensign Josepli Moore and Captain Content Titus; in 

and the Revolution j^j^ Sergt. Jonathan Moore, Sergeant Benjamin Moore, Private 

Gershom Moore, Jr. , and in New Jersey, Lieut. Nathaniel Moore, and Privates 

Samuel Moore and Jonathan Moore and John Moore. Later we find Captain 

John Moore, of New Jersey, and Samuel Moore, weaver, of Newtown. 

At the beginning of the Revolutionary War all acknowledged their rightful 
sovereign, all recognized the injustice and oppression of the British Government, 
and all hoped that their grievances might be redressed by peaceful and constitu- 
tional means. When the time arrived for settlement by the terrible arbitrament 
of war, the people were divided into two parties, one clinging to the hope that a 
peaceful settlement could still be effected, the other boldly declaring that the 
sword could alone cut their bonds. The thought of separation from the mother 
country had not even then suggested itself clearly to those who were willing to 
shed blood. At this time brother was arrayed against brother, father against 
son, and a well-defined cleavage line ran through families. On Long Island a 
large and very respectable minority remained loyal to the King and sufTered untold 
misery during the war, and afterward were banished to Nova Scotia. The 
"Loyalists" constituted a majority of the wealthy and highly educated classes. 
"The officers and clergy" (Episcopal), who formed the backbone of the Tory 
Party "received the support of the landowners and the substantial business men, 
the men who were satisfied with the existing order of things. The aristocracy 
of culture, of dignified professions and callings, of official rank and hereditary 
wealth, was in a large measure found in the Tory Party. "J 

The branch of the family which settled in New Jersey, 1695 and later, were 
without exception adherents of the people's cause, and living at the center of 
military operations, were ravaged first by one armj^ and then by the other. 
Their sufferings were only equaled by that of their relatives on Long Island. At 
Newtown the Committee of Correspondence, of which Samuel Moore was a 
member, adopted the following resolutions :§

from the several acts of the British Parliament to raise revenue in America ; and likewise that 
of having power to bind the people of these colonies, by statute, in all cases whatsoever; that 
of extending the limits of the admiralty court, whereby the judges of said court are empowered 
to receive their salaries and fees from effects to be condemned by themselves, and his Majesty's 
American subjects deprived of the right of trial by jury ; that of requiring oppressive security 
from the claimants of ships or goods seized, before they shall be allowed to defend their 
property; that of empowering the commissionersof customs to break and enter houses without 
the authority of any civil magistrate ; that of stopping the port of Boston, and changing the 
form of government in Massachusetts Bay, and the Quebec bill ;* all of which, as appears to us, 
are intended absolutely to deprive his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the inhabitants 
of the American colonies, of their most inestimable rights and privileges, by subjugating them 
to the British Parliament, and driving them to the dire necessity of submitting to have their 
property taken from them without their consent; which we conceive is one of the most 
deplorable situations to which a free people can be reduced, and absolutely repugnant to the 
constitution of Great Britain ; therefore, 

Resoli'ed, i, That we consider it as our greatest happiness and glory to be governed by 
the illustrious House of Hanover, and that we acknowledge and bear true and faithful alle- 
giance to King George the Third, as our rightful sovereign, and under his protection have a right 
to enjoy the privileges of the constitution of Great Britain, as founded on the Revolution 
principles, in as full and ample a manner as our fellow subjects residing there ; that we 
consider ourselves, one people, connected by the strongest ties of interest and affection, and 
that we lament, as our greatest misfortune, any occurrence which shall have a tendency to 
destroy that mutual confidence which the mother country and her colonies should repose in 
each other. 

Resolved, 2, That we conceive it to be a fundamental part of the British constitution 
that a man shall have the disposal of his own property, either by himself or representatives; 
and as we are not, ajid, from our local circumstances, cannot be represented in Parliament, we 
consider all acts, by them, imposing taxes on the colonies, as subversive of one of the most 
valuable privileges of the English constitution, and having a direct tendency to alienate the 
affections of the colonists from their parent state. 

Resolved, 3, That it is our indispensable duty to transmit, unimpaired, to posterity, all 
our most valuable rights and privileges, as we receive them from our ancestors ; particularly that 
most inestimable right of disposing of our own property, either by ourselves or representatives. 

Resolved, 4, That as some mode of oppo.sition to acts of Parliament, imposing taxes in 
America, has been, by the inhabitants of the different colonies on this continent, thought 
necessary, to secure our invaded rights and properties ; which mode has been left to the deter- 
nnnation of the delegates, sent by each colony, and met in congress, at Philadelphia, in 
September last; they having, among other articles of their association, recommended that a 
committee be chosen in every county, city, and town, whose business it should be to observe 
the coniiuct of all persons, touching said association ; and as we are willing to establish 
harmony and union, we will, so far as our influence extends, endeavor that the measures 
adopted and recommended by said congress, be strictly adhered to in this town. 

Resolved, 5, As we highly approve of the w'ise, prudent, and constitutional mode of 
opposition, adopted by our worthy delegates in general congress, to the several late tyrannical 
and oppressive acts of the British Pariianient, we therefore render our sincere and hearty thanks 
to those gentlemen, for their patriotic spirit, in so cheerfullv undertaking the difficult and 
arduous task ; for their faithfulness in council, and great wdsdom in drawing conclusions 
which, through the influence of Divine Providence, we trust will be the means of securing to 
us our liberties and privileges, as freeborn Englishmen, and again restore harmony and confi- 
dence throughout the British empire, which is the hearty wish of all the friends to liberty and 
foes to oppression. Signed, by order of the committee,

INTRODUCTION ' // 



At a meeting held April 3, 1775, to elect a representative to a convention 
to be held in New York City, April 20, to choose delegates to another General 
Congress, May 10, at Philadelphia, Captain Samuel Moore is one of one 
hundred freeholders who elected Colonel Jacob Blackwell deputj' from Newtown. 
Every other town in Queens County voted against deputies. A comparison of 
the names signed to various documents will show how completely the division 
among families had become. 

Voting against deputies finally resulted in the Provincial Congress summon- 
ing the inhabitants of the counties to appear before them, by committee. This 
action being of no avail, a direct summons of twenty-six persons, charged as 
leaders, was made. No attention being paid to the summons, December 21, the 
convention resolved that those who had voted against deputies had been guilty of 
a breach of the General Association, and ordered their names to be made public in 
printed hand bills. A list of the names was sent to the Continental Congress, at 
Philadelphia, with a request for advice and assistance. 

January 3, 1776, the Continental Congress, at Philadelphia, took the 
following action : 

"Whereas, a majority of the inhabitants of Queens county, in the colouy of New- York, 
being incapable of resolving to live and die freemen, and being more disposed to quit their 
liberties than part with the little proportion of their property that may be necessary to defend 
them, have deserted the American cause, by refusing to send deputies as usual to the conven- 
tion of that colony ; and avowing by a public declaration, or unmanly design of remaining 
inactive spectators of the present contest, vainly flattering themselves, perhaps, that should 
Providence declare for our enemies, they may purchase their mercy and favor at an easy rate ; 
and on the other hand, if the war should terminate in favor of .America, that then they may 
enjoy, without expense of blood or treasure, all the blessings resulting from that liberty which 
they in the day of trial had .abandoned, and in defence of which, many of their more virtuous 
neighbors and countrymen had nobly died ; and although the want of public si)irit observable 
in these men rather excites pit}' than alarm, there being little danger to apprehend either from 
their prowess or example, yet it being reasonable that those who refuse to defend their country 
should be excluded from its protection and prevented from doing injury :* 

Reiolvcd, That Colonel Nathaniel Heard, of Woodbridge, in the Colony of New Jersey, 
taking with him five or si.x hundred Minute Men, under discreet officers, do march to the 
western part of Queens County, and that Colonel Waterbury, of Stamford, in the Colony of 
Connecticut, with the like number of Minute Men. march to the eastern part of the said 
County ; that they confer together, and endeavour to enter the said County on the same day ; 
that tliey proceed to disarm every person in the said County, who voted against sending 
Deputies to the said Convention, and cause them to deliver up their arms and ammunition on 
oath, and that they take and confine in safe custody, till further orders, all such as refuse 
compliance. That they apprehend and secure, till further orders, the persons named as prin- 
cipal men among the disaffected in the said County, in a summons for their appearance before 
the Convention of New York, issued the I2th of December last ; viz.: of Newtown, Nathaniel 
Moore, John Moore, Sr., Samuel Hallett, John Moore, Jr., William Weyman, John Shoals, 
Jeronms Rapalje, and others. f And all such other persons who shall be found in arms, or who 
shall oppose the carrying the above Resolutions into effect, as the said Colonel Heard or Colonel

Resolved, That it be recommended to the said Colonel Heard and Colonel Waterbury, 
to execute the business intrusted to them by the foregoing Resolutions, with all possible 
despatch, secrecy, order, and humanity. 

Resolved, That the Committee of Safety of the Colony of Pennsylvania be requested to 
furnish Colonel Heard with two hundred pounds of Gunpowder. 

Resolved, That the sum of five hundred dollars be forthwith transmitted, with certified 
copies of these Resolutions, to each of them, the said Colonel Heard and Colonel Waterbury, 
and that they, on their return, report to this Congress a true state of their expenditure and 
proceedings. "t 

Colonel Heard left Woodbridge, N. J., January 17, and was joined at New 
York by Sterling's battalion of about three hundred. He crcssed at Horn's Hook, 
near Hell Gate, on the 19th, and proceeded to Newtown, Jamaica, Hempstead, 
Jericho and Norwich to Oyster Bay, collecting arms, taking the declaration of the 
inhabitants, and arresting the principal men. No opposition was offered.

i8 INTRODUCTION 

The following oath was administered : 

" We, the subscribers, in the presence of Almighty God, do most solemnly and sincerely 
swear, that the fire-arms, side-arms, powder and lead, we respectivelj' delivered up to Col. 
Heard and his party, or by them taken from us, are all that belong to us, or in our possessiou 
or power ; and that we have not destroyed, concealed or otherwise disposed of any of our said 
arms or ammunition, in order to evade or obstruct the execution of Col. Heard's orders from 
the Continental Congress, for disarming the inhabitants of Queens county, who are disaffected 
to the opposition now making in America against Ministerial Tyranny."* 

Seven of the principal men having left their homes, only nineteen were 
arrested. These were sent to Philadelphia to appear before the Continental 
Congress, the action of which is appended : 

"The Committee appointed to confer with Colonel Heard returned, and laid before 
Congress a list of the names of nineteen persons taken into custody by Colonel Heard, by order 
of Congress, and brought to Philadelphia ; also, two oatlis, taken by a number of the inhabit- 
ants of Long Island, one upon delivering up their arms, and the other respecting their future 
conduct. 

The names of the prisoners are Benjamin Whitehead, Joseph French, John Polhemus, 
Nathaniel Moor, Samuel Hallet, William Weyman, John Shoals, John Willet, Gilbert Vau 
Wyck, Daniel Kissani, Jacob Mott, Gabriel G. Ludlow, Charles Hicks, Samuel Martin, Samuel 
Clowes, Thomas .Smith, George Weeks, David Brooks, John Townsend. 

Ordi'red, That the said nineteen Prisoners be sent to New York, and delivered to the 
Order of the Convention of that Colony, who are requested to confine or secure the said persons, 
until an inquiry be had by the Convention into their conduct, and report thereof made to this 
Congress. 

Ordered, That the Committee confer with Col. Heard about the mode of sending them.f 
February 6, 1776." 

In New York they were placed under guard of Colonel Lasher, at a house 
of their own selection and at their own expense. 

The following petition from the persons arrested by Colonel Heard was 
presented to the Provincial Congress, but action was postponed : 

"A Petition of John Willett, and fourteen other persons, praying to be relieved from 
their present confinement, was read. Debates arose thereon. Thereupon the question was 
put, whether the same should be taken into consideration immediately, and carried by a 
majority ; but being late, the same is deferred till to-morrow. 

"To the Honourable The Provincial Congress for the Colony of New York, convened 
in the City of New York. 

Whereas your Petitioners, on the 12th instant, presented a Petition to this honourable 
body, praying to be admitted to return to their respective families, upon parole of honour, but 
have been so unhappy as not to have heard anything relative to that matter, as yet, and are 
still in close confinement to the great prejudice of themselves and families ; they therefore 
humbly entreat this honourable body to take their case into consideration, and grant them such 
relief as to this honourable House may seem meet. And your Petitioners will ever pray.

The petition was considered later, and action taken as here indicated : 

"The Congress took into consideration the Petition of John Willett, and others, 
Inhabitants of Queens County, now under guard in this Citv. Thereupon, on motion made. 

Resolved, That the said John Willett, Benjamin Whitehead, Thomas Smith, William

will in the mean time deport themselves peaceably, and I'nake no opposition to the measures of 
this or the Continental Congress, nor instigate' others thereunto; and in their paving all 
e.xpenses occasioned by their confinement. Thereupon, a draft of an Obligation, to be given 
with security by the said John Willett, and the other prisoners above mentioned, was read and 
approved of, and is in the words following, to wit : 

'Know all men by these presents: That we ... of Queens County on Na.ssau-Island,

Ordered, That one of the Secretaries be authorized to go down to the said John Willett, 
and the other persons under guard with hira and receive from them their respective Bonds, 
duly executed with sufficient securities ; and discharging the pay and expenses of the giiard, 
the said Secretary do give them certificates of their being permitted to go at large ; and that 
they be thereupon permitted to go at large."* 

The Congress made sure that the prisoners should pay their own expenses. 

Colonel Lasher being sent for, attended. 

He was requested to make out an account of the pay and subsistance of the several 
guards, who have been on duty, guarding the Prisoners from Queens County, and was requested 
to attend and receive the money from the Prisoners before they are discharged.! 

Congress had appointed May 17, 1776, as a day of fasting and prayer for 
the success of the patriotic cause. On that day, what was supposed to be the 
King's standard, was seen flying from the premises of John Moore, Jr. The story 
is best toid by the official record of Congress. 

"A letter from the Committee of Newtown, dated yesterday, was read and filed. They 
therein inform that, on complaint of several of the inhabitants of Newtown against John Moore, 
Jun., of a fresh insult to the United Colonies, by hoisting, or suffering to be hoisted, on his 
ground a large Flag in imitation of the King's Standard ; and as he had refused to give sufficient 
satisfaction to the Committee, that they have sent him down to this Congress for examination, 
together with a Plag, under a guard, by Captain Abraham Renisen. 

Captain .\braham Remsen, with the said Flag, and John Moore, Jun., the prisoner, 
were brought in. 

John Moore, Jun., examined, says: 'That it was a parcel of School lioys who go to 
school in Newtown, who hoisted colours on his field ; that he first saw them on a small, and 
afterwards on a high, pole of fifteen or twenty feet ; that he does not know whose colours they 
are, and why they were put up ; that he first saw them hoisted on a fast-day ; that the boys 
told him they got the colours of a lad from New York, now in Newtown, whose name is Moore ; 
that he ordered them down on the fast-day, but not afterwards ; that as children put them up, 
he did not imagine that men would take notice of it ; that he has not signed the General 
Association ;} that it was not offered him to sign ; that he knew where the Association was one 
day ; that no person ever advised him to have the Flag taken down ; that it was flying in his 
yard when the gentlemen of the Committee came for him yesterday ; and they took it down ; 
that it has been up .some days and down on other days ; that he lives near the school ; that 
Thomas Walton's son lodges with him ; that there are two sons of Mr. Le Roy, two of Thomas 
White, and one of Mr. Mathews, and others, about sixteen or seventeen in number; that he 
does not recollect what is in the Association. Being asked if he would defend the United 
Colonies by force of arms, answered that he did not choose to fight, and never meant to fight if 
he could avoid it, and would avoid it as long as he coiUd.' 

Captain Abraham Renisen withdrew with his prisoner, and the Congress took the same 
into consideration. 

On motion of Mr. Morris, 

Ordered, That John Moore, Jun., be kept in this town a prisoner upon his parole, until 
the Congress shall make further order concerning him. 

Captain Remsen and John Moore, Jr., were called in. 

The said John Moore, Jun., in Congress gave his promise parole to abide and Tarry in 
the City of New York, and attend at the City-Hall from day to day, ready to obey the call or 
direction of this Congress, and not to depart the City without leave. He was thereupon 
permitted to go at large.

20 INTRODUCTION 

A draft of a Letter to the Committee of Newtown, returning them thanks for their 
vigilance, was read, and approved of and is in the words following, to wit : 

' Gentlemen : I am directed by the Congress to return you the thanks of this Congress 
for your zeal manifested in the securing John Moore, Juu., and sending him to this city.' 

With the warmest wishes for success upon every effort you shall make in the great and 
glorious cause of freedom, I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient and humble 
servant. 

To the Chairman and I\Ieviberi of the Committee of Neivtown : 

Ordered, That a copy of the said letter be signed by the President and transmitted., "* 

After Queens County came into possession of the British, the leading 
Whigs having been thrown into prison, their property seized and practical 
conquest effected, many united with the loyalists in a petitionf to the King's 
Commissioners, that the county might be restored to royal favor. This petition 
was signed by 1293 persons, among whom were Stephen Moore, Jos. Moore, 
John Moore, Jacob Moore, Sam'l Moore, Sr., John Moore, Jr., Ja's Moore, 
Lambert Moore, Nathan'l Moore, Nathan'l Moore, Jr., Benj. Moore, Samuel 
Moore, David Moore. The petition is dated "21st October, 1776." 

On April 28, 1779, upon the withdrawal of Col. Sterling, from Newtown, 
an address was presented to him, worded as follows :t 

"The inhabitants of Newtown beg leave to make their hearty and grateful acknowl- 
edgements to Col. Sterling, and the oflficers of the 42d regiment, for their very equitable, polite 
and friendly conduct during their winter stay among them : they will ever entertain an 
affectionate esteem and regard for them, and will never forget that they have been treated with 
all the justice and cordiality due to fellow subjects and citizens. 

They, at the same time, request the favor of Col. Sterling to return their sincere thanks 
to the regiment in general, for their regular, orderly and honorable behavior, so conformable 
to the true character of gentlemen and soldiers. 

They part with the 42d regiment with regret, and wish them glory and success. 
April 28, '79." 

Among the 93 signers of the address were John Moore, Jr., James, Samuel, 
Sr., Jacob, Sam'l 3d, John, David, Samuel, Jr., Nathan'l, Nathaniel, Jr. 

After embarkation, § Colonel Sterling indited the following reply, dated on 
board the Nestor transport. May ist: 

''Gentlemen : It gives me a very sensible pleasure to find the orderly and good behavior 
of the 42d regmient, under my command, during their winter quarters in Newtown, has drawn 
so honorable an acknowledgement from the inhabitants of that district. It has ever been my 
wish and study to protect the peaceable subject to the utmost of my power, at a time when the 
civil law, owing to this unhappy rebellion, is suspended from giving that protection so enviable 
and so much to be wished for, by every one who has tasted the sweets of it. I beg to assure 
the inhabitants of Newtown of every protection in my power as a soldier, and of every good 
wish as a fellow-citizen, for their welfare and happiness." 

"Newtown** was a prey to depredation, alarm and cruelty for the space of 
seven long years. The civil courts were suspended, and martial law prevailed, as 
crime emanated to a great extent from the soldiery. 

When peace came, and the British army withdrew from Long Island, tho.se 
who had been loyal to the King were subjected to all sorts of cruel treatment, 
and they were glad to enter into banishment from their country. 

The condition of New Jersey at the commencement of the Revolution was 
not different from that of Long Island. The .same division of .sentiment existed, 
and the same hardships were suffered by both parties. Long Island, after the 
defeat of Washington, at the battle so named, was continuously under the domi- 
nation of the British for seven years. Apart from the attacks of American whale- 
boatmen and forage parties, little was known personally of the war. But with

INTRODUCTION zi 



New Jersey the case was entirely difiFerent. After the evacuation of New York, 
November 8, 1776, the American Army retreated across New Jersey, too weak to 
make a stand at any point, and so completely bereft of all means of defense, as to 
be without a single entrenching tool. The patriot cause was at its lowest ebb, 
aud in this supreme moment many faltered and repeated the fatal error of their 
friends on Long Island under similar conditions, when they subscribed to a 
declaration of submission to royal authority. Very man}', some high in the 
councils of the patriots, renounced their adhesion and sought safety under the 
proclamation of Lord Howe. 

New Jersey was the seat of war for several years. "Her losses, both of 
men and property, in proportion to the population and wealth of the State, was 
greater than of any other of the thirteen States."* The plantations of the Moores, 
of Hopewell, Maidenhead and Princeton, resounded to the tread of hostile armies, 
aud while the men were a part of the military forces, the women were subjected 
to all the hardships of the strife.! 

The bitterness between the loyalists and those who espoused the patriot 
cause was often a matter of church affiliation. The Church of England, with its 
prayers for the King, represented the royal cause, aud the Presbyterian Church, 
which expressed its views without equivocation or softness, stood for the other. 
Party spirit ran so high that an expression of it against the Presbyterians repre- 
sented the cause of the party. The sawing off of the steeple of the Presbyterian 
Church, of Newtown, by some young loyalists, illustrates the condition of public 
feeling. In New Jersey, the Moores of Hunterdon County were, so far as ascertained, 
all Presbyterians, and lined up on the side of liberty and independence. The 
family strife, therefore, did not exist as at Newtown, L. I. 

At the close of the Revolution, the mistaken policy of banishment and 
confiscation, protested against by many of the most uncompromising patriots, was 
carried out to the bitter end. Eighty years later a better civilization recoiled from 
the application of the same methods to the defeated South. When the peace of 
1782 was made known, "that portion of the inhabitants who from honest motives 
but false views had been led to take a decided stand and active part in support of 
royal authority, were sunk in the depths of despondency at the utter prostration 
of their hopes." When it is remembered that the help of these people would 
have been invaluable in rebuilding the governmental fabric, nothing but regret 
can be expressed that wiser counsels did not prevail. At the fall of Cornwallis, 
October 19, 1781, four hundred and seventy-one heads of families associated to 
settle on lands granted to loyalists in Nova Scotia. J: The town they founded was 
called Sheldon. On April 27, 1783, six thousand refugees sailed on a fleet of 
eighteen vessels. September 29, 17S3, the fleet^i for Nova Scotia of thirty sail 
put to sea. 

Later many returned and were received by the Whigs with compassion, at 
least, although for a hundred years the name of Tor^' was one of opprobrium, and 
perhaps is still among a certain class. The true history of the Revolution is 
yet to be written. When it is, men will be ready to admire the sturdy pride of the 
Loyalist, who in the midst of calumny, persecution, confiscation aud death, stood 
by his oath of fealty to his King. The patriot who believed that the solution of

the knotty question could only be by the sword, will receive no less honor for his 
firmness in poverty, sickness, in the winter's camp at Valley Forge, or the 
summer's battlefield of Monmouth. The outrages of both sides will not be 
forgotten, but excused on the ground of human frailty, aud the history will be 
true, and therefore none such as has yet been written. 

The history of the organization of the New Jersey Militia in the Revolution 
is interesting, particularly that of the "Minute Men," about whose existence 
many have no knowledge, it being a common belief that "Minute Men" were 
limited to New England. 

"On June 3, 1775,* a plan for regulating the militia of the Colony " was passed in the 
Provincial Congress of New Jersey, at Trenton. August 16, 1775, the plan was amended, and 
'MiuuteMen' were ordered to be furnished by the different Counties. ' These companies of 
militia called " Minute Men" were held in constant readiuess, on the shortest notice, to march 
to any place where assistance might be required, for the defence of this or any neighboring 
Colony.' They were to continue in service four months, and they had precedence of rank over 
the "Common Militia" of the Province. On the 31st of August, 1775, it is noted that the 
" Minute Men " were directed to adopt for their uniform, hunting frocks, as near as may be to 
the uniform of riflemen in Continental service. In case of an alarm, the " Minute Men " were 
directed to repair immediately to their Captains' residences, and he was to march his company 
instantly, to oppose the enemy." 

In Hunterdon County alone there were eight companies. Probably many 
of the family whose names are given below were "Minute Men" before they 
became members of the companies named. The following is not an exhaustive 
list of descendants of Rev. John Moore who served in the war for independence, 
in New Jersey, but what it is may be depended upon for accuracy.

time composed the strength of his army. There is hardly a town in the State that lay in the 
progress of the British army that was not signalized by some enterprise or exploit. At Trenton 
the enemy received a check which may be said with justice to have turned the tide of the war. 

In the summer of 1778, Sir Henry Clinton retreated with the British army from Phila- 
delphia, through New Jersey, to New York. The battle of Monmouth signalizes this retreat. 
The military services performed by the soldiers of New Jersey, and the sufferings of her people 
during the Revolutionary War, entitle her to the gratitude of her sister States. By her sacrifices 
of blood and treasure in resisting oppression, she is entitled to stand in the foremost rank 
among those who struggled for American freedom."* 

Throughout the genealogy will be found the names of many who served 

their country on land or sea, in the War of 1812-14, the Mexican War, the war 

The Moore between the States, and the Spanish- American War. It is grati- 

Family in fying to find that so many of the family held opinions and were

mental fiber characterizes the empire builders of the Western Hemisphere.

1. REV. JOHN MOORE, the founder of this branch of the family, was 
of Englisli birth, and was probably born about 1620. John Moore was in Lynn,* 
Massachusetts, in 1641 . The same year he appeared as a grantee of land at South- 
ampton, Long Island. He married Margaret HoWell, the daughter of Ed- 
ward Howell, of Boston and Lynn, who was the leader of the colony which estab- 
lished the new town of Southampton on Long Island. It is conjectured that the 
marriage took place about 1641. He died at Newtown, Long Island, September 
17, 1657, and was buried in the ancient town burial ground. His widow married 
Francis Doughty, the son of Rev. Francis Doughty. 

The following sketcht was written by the late Charles B. Moore, Secretary 
of the New York Genealogical Society, who was a member of the Moore family of 
Southold, Long Island, and not a descendant of Rev. John. 

At a town meeting in Southampton, L. I., on April 6, 1641, four orders 
were made by the crudely organized democracy, or manor court, of that new 
settlement, which have been preserved, in "the first book of records. "J Their 
theme was caution as to Indians. 

The first order was : 

" Yt is Ordered that noe man shall giue or lende unto any Indian or Indians eyther 
"gunnes, pistolls or any other Instruments of Warre, viz., powder, shott, Bullets, matches, 
"swords, or any other engine of warre whatsoeuer ; Upon payne of the forfeiture of his 
"whole personal estate found within the limits of Southampton, and also to be liable to the 
"Censure of the Court for what corporall punishment they shall thinke meet to inflict upon 
"such like offenders." 

The second order of same date was : 

" Yt is ordered that any person whatsoever hath any Lott or Lotts upon Shinecock 
"playne in the which there are any Indian Barnes or wells lying open, whereby cattle have 
"or may take hurte or harme, the owners or overseers of such I^otts shall till up all such 
"Barnes or welles by the tenth day of this month, upon payne of payeing all such damage 
"as arise by their neglect, aud further to answer for theire contempt at the next Court." 

The third order, believed to be of the same date, was : 

"It is ordered that there shall be three planteing lotts layed out, abutting upon the 
"Little Common appertayneing vnto each of the forty eight Acres, viz : to Henry Symonds, 
"the first lott, to Mr. Abraham Peirson the second Lott, and to John Moore, the third lott; 
"yt being further ordered that the persons above mentioned shall be at the charge of fen- 
"cing the sayd lotts, so much as they shall abutt vpon the little covvnon." 

The remaining order, supposed to be of the same date, was : 
"Yt is ordered that Mr. Howe is to have his planteing lott at the end of Allen Breades 
"planteing lott, and yt is to lye three acres in length, and soe much in bredth as will make 
"the lott to containe three score and four Acres;" — (z. <•., 64 acres, being 16 acres larger 
than others). 

These orders are the earliest and perhaps the most appropriate introduction 
of John Moore to our attention. They were connected with the idea of planting, 
building, and residing outside of the close village of Southampton, § east of it. 

The provision for Mr. Howe referred to Daniel Howe, .several times chosen to 
represent Lynn in Massachusetts, who took charge of the ve.ssel,** obtained by the 
first band at Lynn.ff composed of Edward Howell, Allen Bread, and others^ and

agreed to hold it, upon prescribed terms, " for the use of the plantacon ;" not to 
sell it without consent of the major part, and to be ready at Lynn to transport 
goods three times in the year, the ist, the 4th, and the 8th month, etc. (meaning 
March, June and October). 

"March 16, 1643, John Moore was censured for saying Daniel Howe did 
usurpe the execution of the place of Magistrate, he" (probalal}^ meaning Mr. Howe) 
"theu lyein under Church censure, not being then deposed or degraded from the 
same. And to confesse his fayling yf hee shall bee at the next quarter court." 

March 7, 1644, John Moore was assigned to the whaling squadron for the 
third ward.* 

In the articlest agreed to on Ma}' 30, 1644, for Southampton's union with the 
Connecticut Colony of Hartford, the names of Edward Howell, John Gosmer, | 
and John Moore are recited as the representatives of Southampton. The com- 
position and penmanship of the young man, it is quite probable, were more in 
demand than his advice. 

In October, 1644, after Southampton was recognized as belonging to the 
(Hartford) Connecticut Colony organization, which did not require voters or offi- 
cers to be church members, "Mr. Moore and Robert Bond were appointed for 
Southampton to collect subscriptions for scholars to be educated at Cambridge, § 
and Edward Howell, John Gosmere and John Moore were deputed by (or for) 
Southampton to negotiate a union with the New England colonies." On 
March 6, 1645, "upon the new measuring of the eight acre lots," "what shall be 
left as overplus of Tho. Hildreth's 8 acre lotte shall lye in length next to Mr. Gos- 
mer's and John Moore's eight acres." This shows that John Moore had eight 
acres next to Mr. Gosmer. Robert Bond in 1643 had three acres granted him 
" lying on the 5f ;^//i side of Mr. Gosmer' s eight acre lot."** Arthur Bostock'stwo 
acres were against Robert Bond's rr^/. By comparing and tracing these, we learn 
the location of the land, which placed Mr. Moore and his neighbors in the third 
ward, outside of and east of the old village, and not far from modern Bridge 
Hampton. 

In 1645, Mr. Cooper, of Southampton, and John Moore became bound in 
^5 "unto the body of this towne," conditioned "that Arthur Bostock doe appear 
at the next quarter court to be holden October." 

October 6, 1646, Arthur Bostock was censured for challenging Mr. Stan- 
borough to fight a duel. 

Before October, 1646, it is probable that this John Moore was at Cambridge, 
perhaps as a student, to complete his studies, and was deputed to and attended a 
meeting of the synod of ministers held probably at the same time as the meeting 
of the General Court in Massachusetts. It is possible he had studied some with 
Rev. Mr. Pierson at Southampton, and was recommended by him. We have no 
precise proof of it. It would be surprising if Mr. Pierson's Yorkshire tones, or 
dialect, suited all his parishioners, even as a reader, while some required that 
he should speak or read so that Yorkshiremen could understand him when they 
could hardly comprehend ordinary English. It appears that money was furnished 
to John Moore and Edward Mitchellson (known as the marshal of Massachusetts, 
for whom this young man might be a convenient clerk) to provide provisions for 
the members of the synod and of the General and Particular Courts in session; 
some probably from the public treasury ; (and others perhaps expected by snb- 
■scription, or as pay for meals for members of the 3d House, or petitioners in at- 
tendance). Robert Bridges, of Lynn, in that month of October, 1646, was pre- 
siding officer of the House of Deputies, but after that an Assistant or Magistrate. 
John Endecott was not then Governor, hut perhaps was Deputy Governor presid- 
ing. After this he was not elected Governor until 1649. 

A petitionft was presented, probably in the handwriting of John Moore, 
signed by him and Mr. Mitchellson, in these words:

The writer has looked in vain over the brief minutes preserved for anj" other 
notice of this, and has looked in vain for any other writing or signature of Mr. 
Moore, with which to compare this. There were several other John Moores, but 
probably none who could write like this; and there are some strong circumstances 
in favor of his identity ; he having been authorized to collect subscriptions for 
scholars at Cambridge, and appointed with his seniors to negotiate a union with 
the United Colonies, which was successful, and as agreed by all he was ' ' permitted 
in New England to preach, but not authorized to administer sacraments;" which 
license, we suppose, mtist have been granted at such a synod, and about 1646 
-1649.* 

On June 24, 1647, John Moore was present at a town meetingt in South- 
ampton, after it had been visited liy magistrates from Connecticut, and was one of 
seven principal men who certified that all the inhabitants of the town (except 
three) were present and con.sented to an important agreement (to bury differences, 
etc.). The names were in this order: Edward Howell, Abraham Pierson, Richard 
Odell, John Moore, Thomas HaLsey, Henry Pierson, Jo. Gosnier, Job Sayre. 

On March 8, 1649, his name was on the listj of "perfect freemen " of South- 
ampton ; only sixteen in number, probably church members, but not including 
either of the Piersons, nor William Rogers (gone). On May 9, 1649, his name 
was not on the list of townsmen, ^ 29 in number. The written agreement** 
with Rev. Robert Fordham to preach at Southampton took effect on April i, 
1649. Rev. Mr. Pierson, after June 24, 1647, and before the 9th of March, 
1649, went to Branford, in Connecticut, tinder the New Haven organization, 
where none were to hold office or vole but church members, and several fol- 
lowed him. Serious difficulties with the Indians were apprehended, and the set- 
tlers were at this time excited by finding them armed and jealotis. The wife of 
Thomas Halsey was murdered at night, in 1649, in his lonely residence, not then 
in the village ; and Lyon Gardiner urging Wyandank, the murderers were arrested 
by him and called Pequots. It seems that neither Pierson, nor Bostwick, nor

Moore, had any house or lot in the village. The subject of the Dutch Governor's 
selling or giving guns to the Indians became soon a serious item, and an element 
of complaint and dispute. The settlers on the west end of Long Island wanted guns* 
for themselves. After receiving loo, they were permitted by order from Amster- 
dam, on April 1 1 , 1 650, to have 1 00 more, to be distributed among tlie people under the 
care of Jacob Coweuhoven, Captain of the Burghers Guard (i N. Y. Hist. Doc. 
397). On November 3, 1650, it was complainedf that "the Ertglish of Gravesend, 
among others, had, with the Director's cofisent, given the Indians of Canarse some 
stamped guns," "in payment for their land." The Indians came with the guns, 
on November 6, to Cowenhoven's house, who complained of it to the Fiscal and 
to Mr. Montague, who also had seen the guns, but without any result. 

From all the circumstances, it appears that John Moore, at this period, dis- 
turbed at the east end of Long Island by the murder of Halsey's wife and other 
Indian difficulties, left Southampton, and took, or attempted to take, Rev. Mr. 
Fordham's placet at Hempstead, then under Dutch rule, Peter Stuyvesant, 
Governor. 

The next record we have of John Moore on Long Island is by a letter 
written at Hempstead, dated September 25, 1651, found in Holland, and copied 
with spelling corrected, in the second volume of N. Y. Colonial (Holland) Docu- 
ments, p. 156, as follows: 

"The Magistrates of Heemstede'i to ttie Directors at Amsterdam. 
"Honorable and Right IVorship/ul. 

"After tendering our love, humble service, and due reverence, we have taken the 
liberty to inform your Honors that we have received your friendly and acceptable letters 
dated Amsterdam, 21st March i65r, by which we learn your Honors' care, attention, and 
favor towards us ; and howbeit we do not deserve such, neither the favors received nor 
those proffered, whereof although unworthy, yet shall we exert ourselves to be and remain 
your Honors honest, loving and faithful friends and subjects, as your Honors were pleased 
formerly to name and style us ; being anxious to obey your commands, according to the 
rules of righteousness, beyond wliich we are certain your Honors will neither ask nor order. 
In regard to those who have been malignant or malevolent towards our respected Governor 
and government, we hope that your Honors will not include us among them, as we have 
not countenanced nor assisted them nor their complaints or designs. And as we have 
found the Governor to be an honorable, upright and wise person, of courteous demeanor 
towards us at all times, in all places, and on all required occasions, we request that we may 
have him to respect and encourage as far as in our humble power and means lies, as your 
Honors' President and our very dear Governor. In opposition to those who are contrarily 
inclined, we say: ' Dieu et mon droit; Honi soit qui mal y pense.' Evil be to him who 
evil thinks. Hoping that he will endeavor to patronize and protect those who are honest 
and upright, which is a wholesome principle or fundamental, together with their honest 
affairs, according to the will of God ; we cannot do less than humbly and earnestly thank 
your Honors for bearing in mind to provide us with powder and lead ; requesting in like 
manner your annual supplement thereof, and we shall endeavor honestly to satisfy you 
with such pay as we shall receive. But we cannot forego subndtting to your Honors one 
sad grievance or hardship, which is the more painful to us because of your diligence and 
care to prevent it, and its direful consequences, notwithstanding which our grievances re- 
main unredressed. We mean the daily and public sale to the Indians of powder and lead, 
many men making such a practise of this trade that they cannot live without this desper- 
ate traffic. Thus it is probable that those Indians will in a short time be the destruction 
both of the Dutch and English, as such practise renders them powerful and merciless; so 
that unless a supernatural power keep them under, neither nation will be able to resist 
them. Moreover, since our last letters to your Honors, wherein we sought a reform in this 
matter, these Indians have been guilty of various insolences; hundreds of them coming on 
the Island, have killed our cattle and carried them off to their own plantations to feast on 
them. They have also carried the meat to the Manhattans, and sold it there to the Dutch 
in place of venison. They have driven out of the pasture, through the swamps, our re- 
maining and surviving cattle, over our standing corn, so that we have this summer been 
damaged to the extent of more than a thousand guilders. 'Tis a matter of small moment 
in their eyes to kill a good ox, merely for the horns to carry powder in. Sometimes they 
slay a man, sometimes a woman ; plunder the houses ; purloin our guns ; pry into our 
affairs ; endeavor to drown the people ; strip the children in the fields and woods ; prowl 
abroad with masks or visors ; slaughter our hogs ; and when we demand satisfaction chal- 
lenge us to fight, boasting of their great number of men and guns. All this proceeds from

the daih' supply of powder, lead and muskets or guns by the Jlouhaens and Dutch 
trade. So that if your Honors will not remedy this intolerable plague and that soon — for 
we dr«ad a heavier misfortune, namely, their barbarous or cruel insurrection — we shall be 
obliged, though disinclined, to abandon our dwellings and your Honors' jurisdiction. And 
it sorely roils our English blood that we should be slaves and raise corn and cattle too, 
for ludian vagabonds; that our wives should be so terrified, our children ill-treated, 
our substance wasted and endangered, and that all this occurs whilst our hands are tied, 
and those of our enemies are at liberty and strengthened by their daily supplies and stores. 
W'e trust your Honors will seriously consider that in case we suffer wrong, the property of 
your own nation will therefore, in like manner, suffer should this barbarous and inhuman race 
be encouraged and strengthened. We .seek the welfare and prosperity of the Dutch ; but 
it is not to be endured that they should obtain their incomes or profits in this way, to the 
ruin and destruction of themselves and us, and the extirpation of both our races. Where- 
fore the humble Petitioners pray us to request your Honors' attention, with all possible ex- 
pedition, to the reformation of the aforesaid, if our lives are dear and precious to you, 
which otherwise will be cut short, yea, probably before your Honors will hear again from 
us. Our Governor would most willingly redress these grave abuses, but he finds it to be a 
matter beyond his power, and a matter of great difficulty, as the madness is so general 
among traders. And whereas j-our Honors have been pleased to intimate in your letters 
that neither the Governor nor any other person should so trade on pain of your displeasure 
and indignation, we take the liberty to inform your Honors, inasmuch as dissatisfaction 
may arise from misunderstanding, that we have never accused our Governor in this matter ; 
and we do not now accuse him, but on the contrary defend him before your Honors, and 
say that we hope and believe he would redress it were it in his power, approving the 
propositions and applications of our remaining and esteemed friends, who hold dear 
the public good. 

"We have still a further request to make, viz., that your Honors would be pleased to 
send over some servant men, who are here as precious as gold both in regard to our work 
and to our protection, as matters stand at present, or shall hereafter fare with us, on con- 
dition that your Honors will plea.se to order us to be provided with goods on somewhat 
more reasonable terms, which could easily be done, and the traders still make a good profit 
and gain ; for at present we are forced to buy supplies at excessive prices el.sewhere, when- 
ever liquors are all out and consumed on the Manhattans. We shall do our best to make 
due returns in produce, the proceeds of our servants labor, viz., in corn, beef, pork and but- 
ter, tobacco, staves and such like wares in exchange for such merchandise as we shall 
receive. 

"We beg your Honors' pardon for having so long detained you, but thank you most 
"sincerely for all received benefits; regarding the difficulties already experienced and still 
"to be apprehended, we are necessitated to request your Honors' assistance together with 
"the reformation thereof, if it possibly be, in accordance with our request, which is the 
"cause of our writing so much. Herewith we desist from troubling your Honors any 
"further; but wishing you all honor and prosperity, and that the Father of Mercy may be 
"pleased to show mercy to you who are so good to his people.

Tliis letter was noticed by the present writer in the fourth volume of the 
Record, pp. 131, 133, etc. It was pronounced "full of historical description," and 
as depicting truly " the consequences of such a political blunder as that in which 
the Dutch Governor was engaged ;" viz., arming the Indians, and taking sides, 
or preparing to do so, with the supporters of Charles II., after the conquest of 
Ireland, and after the battle of Dunbar, and hazarding a conte.st with Cromwell, 
then in the height of his authority and glory. Repeated readings of the letter 
only add to the opinion of its character and importance. Other events, such as 
the battle of Worcester, in England, on September 3, 1651, a few days before the 
date of the letter, greatly overshadowed this small and remote affair. The letter, 
it seems, was written in English, to be read and forwarded by the Governor. This 
duplicate may have been copied, certified, and sent by other hands. It was disre- 
garded. The Dutch were afterward encountered at sea, and overthrown by Crom- 
well. The Indian forays occurred as foretold by the letter. t

It may be supposed that Mr. Moore bad left his wife at Southampton and re- 
turned there temporarily. On November 7, 1651, a bond at Southampton, signed 
by John Cooper, had for a witness "John Moore." It may have been witnessed 
at Hempstead. 

In 1652 he was at Hempstead. Mr. Armitage residing there had a son Man- 
assah at the new college in Massachusetts and married a second wife. There was 
due to Mr. Armitage before this date ;{|^ioo, on two bonds which, as he said, he 
intended to give to his son, so that his new wife should not have all, at his decease. 
"M'. Moore and M"^. Wood," probably Jonas Wood, "being in town," Hemp- 
stead, a deed of gift was executed in their presence. A dispute occurred about this 
in 1659, which serves to preserve a record for us, and then the wife of Jeremy 
Wood stated the date of the deed, "about seven years past." This gives us the 
date 1652.* 

In April of that year, 1652, the Directors at Amsterdam wrote to New York, 
"In order that you may be the more fully a.ssured of our good intention, we do 
hereby consent that the Commonalty yonder shall have liberty to repair to the coast 
of Angola, Africa, & transport thence as many negroes as they will make use of for 
the cultivation of their lands," &c. In that year, according to Riker's Newtown, 
leave was given by Gov. Stuyvesant for a new town of Englishmen, at first called 
Middelburg and those from New England were "joined by some respectable indi- 
" viduals from Heemstede or Hempstead," "among whom were Robert Coe and 
"Richard Gildersleeve ;" and from Hempstead "came the proposed pastor of the 
" new settlement the Rev. John Moore, of whose previous history nothing" (he 
said) "had been learned, except that he had been the clergyman of the church at 
"Heemstede." The summer of 1652 witnessed the first harvest. On 29th April, 
1653, the English settlers, terrified by reports of Indian hostilities, sailed for Stam- 
ford. The war, under Cromwell, between English and Dutch occurred. The 
English generally retired from it, eastwardl}\ News of peace arrived at New York 
on July 16, 1654, or before; and attempts at a settlement of the new town were 
again renewed. 

To what place or region Mr. Moore wentf we are not informed, but have the 
impression that he was seeking a regular ordination and that he went to Europe, 
and possibly to Ireland, but perhaps to Barbadoes, and returned after the war was 
over. The death of his father-in-law (Howell), in 1655, might call him east on 
Long Island, but we have seen no mark of his being at Southampton. 

The following from Virginia, dated "17 Nov., 1656, Copie of A Letter sent 
to Mr. Moore a minister in New England," has been discovered by the compiler, 
which may help to explain the whereabouts of Mr. Moore at this time :

In 1655 and 1656 the settlers of Middelburg sought to observe publicly some 
religious worship, and in the absence of Mr. Moore, the schoolmaster Mr. Rich- 
ard Mills, or some other person, read for those in attendance ; and doubtless there 
were prayers and singing.

To the Hon. Director General and Council of New Netherland :

by several persons residing at Middelborch within the jurisdiction of this Province that 
since the departure and in the absence of Mr. Moore before a Minister of the Gospel in 
that place some inhabitants of said place and unqualified persons have undertaken to hold 
conventicles and meetings and assume the duties of a preacher from which nothing can be 
expected but discord confusion and disorder in church and government not only in that place 
but also as a bad example for others within this province. They solicit therefore that measures 
may be taken in this matter by your Hon.'s authority and that during the absence of Mr. 
Moore some qualified person be provisionally appointed to read on Sunday the Bible and some 
other edifying orthodox author and some of the religious forms in usage among the 
inhabitants of said place till your Honor shall make further arrangements &c.

JOHANNIS MEGAPOLENSIS 

Samuei, Drisius 

Mr. Riker continues the histor}' of Rev. John Moore in his Annals of New- 
town, in substance, as follows : Governor Peter Stuyvesant having refused to give 
a patent to Middelburg,tthe inhabitants determined to buy the soil from the Indians. 
They entered into negotiations with Rowerowestco and Pomwaukon sachems, and 
a deed was subscribed April 12, 1656. This act is worthy to be remembered in 
connection with the policy of William Penn, and reflects great honor on those who 
were willing to do justice to the Indians, a policy entirely different from that pursued 
by the Dutch. The "purchasers"! are given in the Annals of Newtown, and third 
on the list is John Moore, £2 os od. The two pounds entitled him to forty acres. 
The total purchase money was ^68 16s 40', divided among fifty-five purchasers. 
The Indian deed of 1666J5 is the only one extant. 

Rev. John Moore returned to Middelburg to resume his ofiBcial duties, and 
" in a publique meeting," Jan. 22, 1657, the inhabitants presented him with the 
title to the town house.** Objection was made to the procedure by some of the 
inhabitants, as appears from the following remonstrance which was sent to the 
Director General : 

To THE Honorable Governor : 

Worthy Sir; We whose names are underwritten, desire to make our humble requests 
known in respect to the house builded here by the town of Middelburg for public use for a

titute, if Mr. Moore please to leave us, or if he should die, for we know men are mortal;

Governor Stuj'vesant decided against the action of the "publique meeting." 
A few months later Rev. John Moore died, and it appears that his family was al- 
lowed to occupy the house for nearly five years. In the meantime Francis 
Doughty, son of Rev. Francis Doughty, had married the widow Moore. 

The following memorial to the Governor will explain itself: 

Whereas, God hath been pleased of late years to deprive us of Middelburg on Long 
Island, of the public means of grace and salvation and also of the education of our children 
in scholastic discipline, the way to true happiness : but yet God having in mercy at last 
provided for us a help meet for the discipline and education of our children, and, by the 
same person, help in the Sabbath exercises, we therefore, who never gave, nor consented to 
the giving of the housing and lands built and fenced in, and also dedicated for the use of 
the public dispensation of God's word unto us, do humbly entreat your honorable lordship 
that this our said schoolmaster, Richard Mills by name, may be by your lordship possessed 
of the said housing and lands, for his use and ours also, for our children's education and 
the Sabbath exercise, the which God doth require, and we have need of for us and our chil- 
dren. As the housing now stands it is like to go all to wreck and ruin, the fences are falling 
down, the house and barn decaying and wanteth repair, and Francis Doughty doth not re- 
pair it, nor the town as it stands between him and them, we will not repair it, and by this 
means it is like to come to nothing in a short time, and so we, and your lordship also, 
shall be disappointed ; therefore our humble request to your lordship is, that this our school-

The Gov^ernor replied : 

These presents do require and order Francis Doughty, and whoever it may concern, to 
give and grant unto the present school master, Mr. Richard Mills, a quiet possession of the 
said house and land ; it being with our knowledge, consent and help, built for the public 
use of the ministry, and therefore may not, cannot be given and transported for a private 
heritage. But if he or his wife hath to demand anj' remainder of means or salary of her 
deceased husband, Mr. John Moore, late minister of the aforementioned town, it is ordered, 
and these presents do order the magistrates and inhabitants of the said town to give unto 
the heirs what is due them. Done in Amsterdam, in New Netherland, this i8th of 
February, 1661.* P. Stuvvesant. 

On March 4, 1665, by a decree of the Hempstead Assembly, the town house 
was surrendered to Mrs. Doughty as relict of the Rev. John Moore, f and in 1672, 
after the building of the Presbyterian Church, Content Titus, who had married 
Elizabeth, the daughter of Rev. John Moore, bought the property, which he occu- 
pied until his death in 1730. This property afterward belonged to St. James's 
Episcopal Church. The reason for the remonstrance against the action of the 
"publique meeting" would be interesting to know. Riker supposes that the re- 
monstrants were Presbyterians. If this were the case, another argument against 
the supposition of recent date that Rev. John Moore was a Presbyterian, and not 
an Independent, would be presented. The only evidence of his denominational 
connection so far as known, now in existence, is the following extract from the

letter of Jno. Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius to the Classis of Amsterdam, dated 

August 5, 1657: 

"At Middleburgh, called alias Newtown they are mostly Independents, and have a man 
of the same persuasion there named Johannis Moor, who preaches there well, but administers 
no sacraments, because (as he says) he was permitted in New England to preach but not author- 
ized to administer sacraments, and he has thus continued now for many years. In this village 
are also many other Inhabitants, presbyterians, but they are uot able to maintain a Presby- 
terian Preacher, whilst we know not that an\- of this sect are to be found among the English 
in N Engld, among whom there are preachers."* 

Soon after Rev. John Moore's death, the people petitioned the Director Gen- 
eral for another minister, "fearing that some of the inhabitants may be led away 
by the intrusion of Quakers and other heretics." Thirty years after, the town 
awarded eighty acres of land to his children in consideration of his services. f 

We are indebted to Mr. J. H. Innes for the discovery of the following docu- 
ment, which shows, as he says, the poverty and privations against which the iSrst 
settlers had to contend, and which are not duly appreciated. 

23 May.t Appeared John Laurents", residing at Middelbourch on Long Island, made 
known that some money was due to him by Mr. [Moore] deceased, before Minister in the 
aforesaid village, exhibited an inventory of some clothes left by the said Minister and re- 
quested that the same be sold at public auction to obtain his payment from it. 

The request having been heard, the following order to the Magistrates of 

Middelbourch was given him : 

The Magistrates of the village of Middelborch are requested and ordered to deliver to 
the bearer of this letter, John Laureuson, the goods mentioned in the enclosed inventory, or 
any other goods which belonged to Mr. [Moore] to be sold here at public auction to the 
highest bidder for the behoof of those who will be found to have a claim to it. Adj. ut §

O/l Q^" ^ /y .^ 9^0^ * disposed of considerable estates in Bucking- 

U<PykAXiJ^*^^ ^^ySnaty^^^ ham County in 1639, among which was the 
manor of Westbur}- in Marsh Gibbon, purchased by his grandfather, WiUiam 
Howell, in 1536. The old stone manor house is still standing, though the 
remains of an old foundation near it show that some portions of it have 
been taken down. It is of two full stories and what is called a double 
house, now nearly covered with ivy. Edward Howell came, in 1639, with 
his family to Boston, where he was made freeman, March 14, 1639-40. He soon 
removed to Lynn, where he had a grant of 500 acres. During the winter of 1639- 
40, a new settlement was projected on Long Island, of which he seems to have 
been the leader, as the compact or agreement of terms of founding the plantation 
is in his handwriting, as well as the laws adopted by the first settlers, and to the 
last year of his life, he was always a magistrate (1640-1653) and a member of the 
Colonial Legislature at Hartford (1647-1653). The manner in which his name is 
mentioned in the colonial records of New England and New York, point to the 
same conclusion. 

The arms of this family, as found on the old family seal now in possession 
of one of the descendants and on several old tombstones of the seventeenth cen- 
tury in Southampton, are as follows : 

Gules, three towers triple-towered, argent. 

Crest used by some branches. Out of a ducal crown or, a rose argent 
stalked and leaved vert, between two wings, indorsed of the last. 

Motto: Tenax propositi. 

The arms are carved on the grand western staircase of the capitol at Albany, 
in honor of the founder of Southampton, which was the first English settlement in 
the State of New York. 

The Howell arms date back to 1250, as is proved by documents in the 
British Museum. They were then borne by Howell, Prince of Caerleon-upou-Usk 
in North Wales. 

William Howell, of Wedon, in County of Bucks, married, first, Maude, who 
died and left children, John the elder and John the younger. William married, 
second, Anne Hampton, and had a son Henry. He had besides, but by which wife 
I cannot say, children Jacob and Rachel, wife of Rev. Thomas Willis, and Isabel, 
Jane, Cecil, Agnes, Anne, Joane and Alice. His will of date November 30, 1557, 
directs his body "to be buried in the parish church of Wingrave, in the chancel 
before the High Altar." He gives legacies to the poor of Aylesbury, the poor of 
Whitechurch and the poor of Marsh ; gives his wife Anne his lands in Watton and 
Hamme for her life, and at her decease, they are to go to Henry ; gives his eldest 
son John, his lands in Marsh Gibbon, and in default of issue to his son Henry, 
and in default of issue to his son Jacob. To each of his daughters, ^20, and a 
legacy of bells for the Hardwick Church. He died in 1557, and John the eldest 
son inherited the manor, and himself died without issue 1576. 

From the parish register of Marsh Gibbon, the following extract is taken :

Edward Howell built at Southampton, in 1648, the house occupied in his 
lifetime, by William P. Herrick, and had the two adjoining house lots to the north, 
his front extending to Job's lane, as he had purchased three shares in the cor- 
poration of the settlement. This house was taken down about twenty-five years 
ago by Capt. Philetus Pierson, who had purchased the homestead. His three 
shares entitled him to over 3000 acres, within the boundaries of the town. Edward 
Howell's wife Eleanor was administratrix of his estate October 6, 1665. 

There were other Howells in Massachusetts Colony, and one married 
Mary More, the daughter of William More, of Ipswich, before 1660.*

Thirty pounds currt. Silver money of the Province of West Jersey " paid by John 
Moore, 140 acres situated in the Township of Chesterfield. Until the discovery 
of this document, Nathaniel Moore' was supposed to be the earliest emigrant of 
the family from Long Island. The deed seems to indicate that John' was the 
eldest son of Rev. John.'

3. Captain Gershotn Moore' (Rev. John') and Mary , widow 

of Jonathan Fish. 

Gershom Moore' was probablj- the second sou of Rev. John Moore. His 
name first appears in a list of the residents of Xewtown, 1655-56. It is also found 
in the list of freeholders, December 4, 1666. It appears so often in connection with 
that of his brother, Capt. Samuel Moore, that the history of one is that of the other. 
He was among the inhabitants of Newtown made freemen of Connecticut, May 12, 
1664. April 21, 1665, he was elected by the Company and commissioned Ensign 
of the Newtown Militia by Gov. Nicoll. The inhabitants were organized into a 
single company, and the ofEcers by law were required to be "persons of best quality, 
such as are most complaisant to them, men of great courage to all \-irtuous actions 
and only fearful of infamy. ' ' He was afterwards promoted to be Lieutenant. April 
23, 1669, ten acres were apportioned to Gershom Moore on the new highway 
which ran from "about northwest and southeast" through Hempstead Swamp. 
He was Overseer, March, 1665, to April, 1666; April, 1668-1670; April, 1671-1673; 
April, 1675-1677 ; April, 1677-1679; April, 1682-1684, and, when the change was 
made to Commissioners of the Town Court, he filled that ofiBce 1684-1685. Some 
cases were settled out of Court, as appears from the following record : 

16S0, February 23, " Johanes Loroson" testifies in a suit at Newtown, L. I., 
between Dr. John Greenfield and the widow Rolofson : 

"Johanes Loroson, aged 29 yer or thereabouts being sworne in Court that dockter 
Greenfield and Gershom Moore came to the hous of John Desent and the sd Greenfield 
did in the prsents of this deponent speek to the Counstable to summons the widdow Rou- 
leson to Court, where upon the Counstable sd that he would send for the widdow that they 
may agree without going to Court. Soe she came and after some word between them the 
sd dockter sd if shee would give him a kis he would acquit her of what was betweene them : 
and she did soe and give each other the hand upon it and further saith not."* 

August 24, 1673, upon the reoccupation b}' the Dutch, he was one of six can- 
didates presented for oflSce, from whom three were confirmed by the Court. He was 
not confirmed. His name is on the Dongan Charter of date November 25, 1686. 
In the troublous Leislerian times he was commissioned Captain,! October 2, 1689, 
his brother, Samuel, receiving the Lieutenancy at the same time. (See Captain 
Samuel Moore'.) In 1675I he was on the tax list for 2 males, 20 acres of upland 
and meadow, i horse, i yearling, 2 oxen, 2 cows, 2 3-year olds, 3 2-year olds, 30 
sheep, 3 swine; in 16S3, i male, 16 acres, i horse, 2 oxen, 6 cows, 6 yearlings, 
ID sheep, I swine.

1722, was Commissioner of Highways. He was taxed in 1683 for i head, 16 acres, 
I horse, 2 oxen, 6 cows, 6 i-year olds, 10 sheep, i swine. In 1715 Gershom 
Moore, Jr., of Newtown, was in Capt. Daniel Stevenson's Company of Militia.* 
Gershom Moore, the Commissioner of Highways at Newtown, 1722, could 
not have been the Gershom of Maidenhead who died 1722. The latter's will 
gives evidence of his being a resident of Maidenhead. He could not have been 
the latter's son, for his children were all minors; nor his father, for he died about 
1 69 1. Hence there must have been another Gershom.

Nathan's son, and John Moor, G's son." Gershom Moore's land adjoined that of 
Ralph Hart. Mercy Moore's name appears in an old account book§ of John John-

(Thomas' m. Elizabeth , who after his death m. John Burroughs'). 

Newtown awarded the descendants of Rev. John Moore eighty acres of 
land, thirty years after his death, for his interest in the purchase of Newtown 
from the Indians. Captain SamueP became a grantee of land as early as 1662. 
Later he purchased an adjacent tract which had belonged to his father. Benjamin', 
his son, subsequently owned it. It then passed to John*, and then to Daniel 
Sackett^ This property in 1852 was included in the premises of John Jacob 
Moore' (Daniel Sackett', John*, Benjamin', Captain Samuel", Rev. John'), and 
still remains in the family, occupied by Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry, the daughter 
of John Jacob*. Part of the present house was probably built shortly after 1662. 
The "new house" was built in 1776, and altered about 1857. Additions were 
made in 1872 and 1876. During the Revolution, General Howe had his head- 
quarters here, and the Duke of Clarence, afterward William IV. of England, was 
a guest. A celebrated box hedge, a part of which still remains, was a feature of 
the place. The Newtown "pippin," a noted apple, was first grown on this 
property. 

In 1684 Captain Samuel Moore' bought of William Hallett, Sr., a farm near 
the Poor Bowery. The attached deed evidently refers to this property :

Capt. Samuel's son, Samuel', took the southern part, which later was owned 
by S. B. Townsend. Previous to this it passed to Nathaniel Moore*, who married 
Mrs. Rebecca Barnwell, and later belonged to Rebecca Moore", who married Mr. 
Purdy. The house recently demolished, 1901, was occupied as headquarters by 
General Clinton during the occupation of Long Island by the British. Mr. Jed

Samuel Moore's name does not appear in the list* of residents of Newtown, 
1655-6, given by Thompson in his History of Long Island, although his brother Ger- 
shom's does. This indicates that Gershom was older than Samuel. His name does 
appear in the listt of December 4, 1666. The rate listsj of 1675 and 1683 show 
that he was taxed for fourteen acres of upland and meadow, one horse, two oxen, 
three cows, two two-year olds, one one-year old, five sheep, and three swine in the 
former year, and in the latter, in addition to the above, for sixteen acres, three 
cows, two three-year olds, three one-year olds, seven sheep and one swine and one 
head. In the list of 1675, under the word "males," there is a zero which indicates 
that he had no sons. The 1683 list indicates that he had one son. 

Up to 1684 but little of the land had been brought under cultivation. 
Perhaps the desire to cultivate arose mainly from the fact that the Dutch laid 
claim to part of it. Whether or not the motives were mixed, cultivation would

give possession, and March 3, 1684, the purchasers resolved to allot the land to 
any who were willing to locate on the unoccupied portions. Mr. Doughty, 
Edward and Thomas Stevenson, Samuel Moore, Richard Betts, Jr., and Jeremiah 
Burroughs were appointed "to look out for a place of settlement towards the 
outside of our bounds, next the Dutch." At this time notice was served upon the 
patentees by Gov. Dongan, that they should bring their patent and Indian deed 
preparatory to granting a new charter. Ultimately, in 1686, the Dongan Charter 
was granted, which confirmed the old patents, the boundaries being no more 
explicit than in Nicoll's patent of 1666. This charter reserves to the forty-six 
persons first-named, original purchasers of the township, the exclusive control of 
the unoccupied land within the purchase lines. lyater this decision caused trouble, 
as is shown by the annexed documents. 

To his Excellency EDWARD VISCOUNT CORNBURY, her Majesty's Captain General 
and Governor-in-chief of the province of New York, and territories depending thereon, in 
America; and Vice- Admiral of the same, &c. , in council. 

The humble petition of several of the freeholders and inhabitants of the town of 
Newtown, in Queen's county, on the Island of Nassau, sheweth ; That Richard Nicoll, Esq., in 
the year 1666, being governor general of this province under the Duke of York, granted unto 
Capt. Richard Betts, Capt. Thomas Lawrence, and others, as patentees for and on the behalf of 
themselves and their associates, the freeholders and inhabitants of the said town, their heirs, 
successors, and assigns, a parcel of land then commonly called by the name of the town of 
Newtown ; bounded, as in the said patent is more particularlj' expressed given to the said 
patentees and their associates, their heirs, successors, and assigns, for ever. That your 
excellency's petitioners, or those they claim under, being at and before the time of the granting 
of the said patent, actually possessed of and entitled to houses, lauds, tenements, and heredita- 
ments within the bounds of the said patent, as well as several other persons, and thereby 
equally entitled with them to such lands which were then unpossessed and remained in 
common, hoped and behoved to have had the advantage of the said patent in common amongst 
the rest of the patentees ; but so it is, may it please your excellency, that Samuel Moore, 
Thomas Stevenson, Joseph Sackett, Edward Hunt, and John Wa)', with several of the inhabit- 
ants of the said town, of their own heads, without any power or authority for their so doing, 
have from time to time, as they think fit, assembled and met together, and given away, sold, 
and disposed of great parts of the said town lands lying in common as aforesaid, without the 
consent of your excellency's petitioners, or without any allowance to them for their right and 
interest therein, contrary to all justice and equity. Your excellency's petitioners therefore 
humbly pray, that your excellency in council will please to order the said persons to be 
summoned before your excellency, and require them to bring with them all such books, papers, 
or other things, as are in their, or either of their custody, possession, or power, relating to the 
premises, in order that the same may be fully discovered, and that 3'our excellency being 
particularly informed of the hardships your petitioners lie under, may grant them such redress, 
as in your wisdom you shall think fit. And your excellency's petitioners, as in duty bound, shall 
ever pray, &c.

The decision was against the petitioners, and was rendered to Gov. Corn- 
bury in the following language : 

To his Excellency EDWARD VISCOUNT CORNBURY, Captain General, &c., in 
council : 

May it please your lordship ; In obedience to your excellency's order in council of the 
13th of January last past, we have inspected the books and papers of the town of Newtown, in 
Queen's county, and examined the report made by Rip Van Dam, Gerard Beekman, and Caleb 
Heathcote, Esquires, members of his Majesty's council for this province; and have carefully 
examined the allegations of the petitioners and those petitioned against, by which we find, that 
before the granting of Col. Richard Nicoll's patent to the town of Newtown, a society of people 



GENEALOGY ^3 

had purchased and did occupy and enjoy a parcel of land commonly called and known by the 
name of the town of Middelburg, and that the said Col. Richard Nicoll, by his patent bearing 
date the sixth day of March, one thousand, six hundred and sixty-six, did confirm to them the 
said purchase, and adjoin certain out-plantations, not any ways concerned in the purchasing 
the aforesaid tract of land, and made them all one township, without any distinct reser\-ation of 
the properties of the said purchasers entire to themselves, notwithstanding which, the inhabit- 
ants of Middelburg (after^vards called Newtown) have acted distinct as to the sale and disposal 
of the lands purchased by them, or those under whom they claim, and have by themselves, at 
their own proper charges, maintained suits at law to defend the bounds and title to their said 
purchase, without any contribution from the out-plantations ; and we do further find that the 
Lawrences and Coes, and some few others of the petitioners, were original purchasers of the 
said town of Middelburg, and have had their proportionable share of the said purchase laid out 
to them ; and particularly, that the father of William Lawrence, one of the petitioners, hath 
transferred his right in the said purchase, to one George Wood, as appears by the books of the 
said town. That it appears to us that the matters complained of now b_v the petitioners, were 
stirred in Col. Dongan's time, who by his patent, dated the five-and-twentieth day of November, 
one thousand, six hundred and eighty-six, likewise makes them one township, but reserves to 
the original purchasers of the town of Middelburg, their distinct right to the said lands, to them 
and their heirs only ; and we do further find that the books of the town of Newtown have been 
very imperfectly kept, but that on the whole it does appear to us, that the said patent granted 
by the said Col. Itongan, was issued on mature consideration, and that ever since the 
granting thereof, the patentees have acted according to the settlement of the said patent, and 
that all parties have rested satisfied luider the said grant, without any complaint made by them, 
until the exhibiting of the said petition. They do not seem to us to be guilty of the matters 
therein alledged against them, all which is nevertheless most humbly submitted to your 
excellency, by, my lord, your excellency's most faithful and obedient servants.

New-York, the 3d day of February, i703-'4. 

In order to understand various events in the life of Captain Samuel Moore, 
it is desirable to give a rapid sketch of the times in u^hich he lived. This can 
best be done by following closely the admirable account of the historian of 
Newtown, Mr. Riker. The history opens with the conquest of New Netherlands 
by the English. 

Various reasons have been assigned for the grant of New Netherlands to 
his brother James, the Duke of York, by King Charles II. The motives were 
probably mixed. "Lack of respect" for the Dutch,* revenge against the Hol- 
landers for supposed unwarranted intrusion in India, Africa and elsewhere,! envy 
on account of trade rivalry,! and finally to drive out the Dutch and .settle once for 
all the disputes arising from conflicting claims in regard to territory in America. § 
The Duke of York was led to claim New Netherlands on account of revenge 
against his enemies, the Dutch, and avarice, wishing all the trade of the cotintry. 
The whole transaction shows an entire absence of political morality. March 12, 
1664, Charles II. granted,** without regard to the rights of the Dutch, the whole 
country to the Duke of York. The oppressive administration of Governor Stuj've- 
sant caused a great deal of bitterness in the English towns of Long Island. April 
26, 1664, a commission tt was issued by Charles II. to take possession of the coun- 
try. May 12, 1664, a general assembly claimed 1+ for Connecticut the "islands 
adjoining." This showed the intention of the English to conquer the country. 
The inhabitants of Middelburg, taking advantage of their opportunity, sought an- 
nexation to Connecticut and allegiance to Charles II. Annexation was effected, 
the name of the township was changed to Hastings, after that Hastings in Sussex 
where William the Conqueror gained the famous victory which made him King of

Euglaud. The now English subjects expressed themselves upon their change of 
allegiance as follows : 

TO ALL CHRISTIAN PEOPLE in any parte of the world, knowe that we, the 
inhabitants of Hastings, otherwise called Middeiburg, on Long Island, in the south parte of 
New England, doe declare that we are by our birthright privileges subjects of his Majesty, 
Charles the 2d. of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Kinge ; and within the discoverys 
of his Royal predecessors are providentially seated ; and by right of the natives, have to the 
soyle and absolute righte of inheritance in free socage, to us and our heyrs and assigns for ever, 
which right, interest and propryety, with his Majesty's Royalty of government we promise to 
maintaine against any usurpers whatsoever, and wiU further and more particularly doe any 
thing whereby or wherewith our dread sovereigne and successors may be owned as absolute 
Emperor in poynt of civill juridicature, as by establishinge an authority elected by the major 
parte of the freehoulders of this towne of Hastings aforesayd, yearly ; this very Island being 
bounded within the letters pattante granted by King James, of glorious memory, the i8th year 
of his reigne, to George, Duke of Buckingham, James, Duke of Lennox, which pattante was 
bounded between 40 and 48 north lattitude, with all Islands; and within the sayd lattitude wee 
saj' our just propryetys of soyle being invaded, and his Majesty's rights usurped by ye Holland- 
ers ; to the great scandall of government and discouragement of his Majesty's hopeful plantation, 
which we will for the futter defend as Englishmen, just propryetors and Loyall subjects, with 
our lives and fortunes ; in witness whereunto we have set to our hands this 4th of February, 
1663. [1664, New Style.]* 

It is gratifying to know that there were men who refused to sign this 
bombastic and misleading document. They were James Way, Jonathan Hazard, 
William Lawrence and Samuel Moore. 

Captain Richard Nicoll, in August, 1664, captured, with a naval force. 
New Amsterdam, and called it New York. Connecticut gave up Long Island to 
Nicoll, who was Deputy-Governor. He called a conventionf to meet at Hemp- 
stead, February 28, 1665, at which the Duke's Laws were enacted. The name of 
Hastings was canceled and "the New Towne" adopted. Among other things, 
the Duke's LawsJ established an Overseers' Court in the several towns. It should 
be noticed, however, that nothing like constitutional government for the people 
was provided. § It took many years after this to evolve this idea. 

In 1675 Samuel Moore became constable and held the oiEce until March 30, 
1676. 

"The constable was ordinarily chosen on the first or second day of April, 
yearly, by the major vote of the freeholders in the town, and was presented in 
person by the old constable and overseers to the next Court of Sessions ensuing, 
when he was sworn into office, the insignia of which was a staff about six feet long 
with the king's arms on it. Thence he was required to attend each sitting of the 
Court of Sessions, unless an overseer, bearing the staff, should supply his place, 
or he be excused by the justices on the bench, under a penalty of five pounds for 
every day's absence. The constable was to whip and punish offenders, raise the 
hue and cry after murderers, manslayers, thieves, robbers and burglars ; and also 
apprehend without warrant such as were overtaken with drink, swearing or Sab- 
bath-breaking, and vagrant persons or night walkers, provided they be taken in 
the manner, either by the sight of the constable or by present information from 
others. He could command the help and assistance of any other person upon a 
penalty for their refusal ; and could, without warrant, if the case was urgent, 
search any house or place suspected to be the receptacle of stolen goods or the 
person of an offender. It was his business, where cases of debt or trespass under 
five pounds arose between neighbors, to nominate two indifferent persons as arbi- 
trators. He was to collect all fines and amercements, and distrain for rates where 
they were refused to be paid. He, with the concurrence of two overseers, was to 
satisfy every person, either Christian or Indian, for the killing of wolves, to the 
value of an Indian coat for each wolf, to be paid out of the public rate, evidence

being produced that the animal was killed on Long Island, and not elsewhere ; 
and the constable and overseers were to cause the heads to be nailed over the door 
of the constable, there to remain, as also to cut off both the ears, in token that 
the head was bought and paid for. The constable was authorized to ' furnish 
the Indians with such quantity of powder and shot as maj' be thought necessary 
for their killing of wolves, and provisions ; and also may permit them to have 
their guns mended.' "* 

The following itemsf have escaped the ravages of time :

The Constable Sam: Moore Swome Relates John Greues Coming to him to complaine and his 

going with him to Mr. Cornell &c and so to the house, where he was showed what was done.** 

(1675) 

The " presentment " of Mary Case throws some light upon an unpleasant 

subject — the persecution of the Quakers. On Sunday afternoon, September 5, 

Mary, wife of Thomas Case, entered the Newtown Church and addressed Mr. 

Leverich, who was in the pulpit, in these words: " Come down thou whited wall, 

thou art one that feedest thyself and star\-est the flock." The Constable led her 

from the church and afterward preferred charges against her at the October 

assizes. Her defence was that she "went in obedience to the Lord, to declare 

against Mr. Leverich's doctrines." She was fined five pounds. In justice, it 

must be said that frequent disturbance of religious ser\-ices by those who professed 

or pretended to profess the doctrines of George Fox were partly to blame for the 

unfortunate persecutions which blot the records of these early times. 

Samuel Moore held the office of Overseer from April, 1677, to April, 1679, 
and again from April, 168 1, to April, 16S3. 

"For the orderly management of all town affairs, including the building 
and repairing the church, maintaining the minister, and providing for the poor, it 
was directed that eight of the most able men of each town or parish be appointed 
Overseers, who were required to be 'men of good fame and life, chosen by the 
plurality of voices of the freeholders in each town, whereof four shall remain in 
their office two years successively, and four shall be changed for new ones every 
year, which election shall preceed the election of Constable in point of time, in 
regard the Constable for the year ensuing is to be chosen out of that number 
which are dismist from their office of Overseers.' Before entering upon their 
office, they took the oath of allegiance, in the pre.senceof the minister and the old 
Overseers and Constable, and then were presented by the said Constable and 
Overseers to the Court of Sessions next succeeding their election, and with the new 
Constable took the oath of office, which was usually done at the June sessions. 
They were authorized, together with the Constable, to hold town courts weekly 
or monthly, as was required, where six with the Constable, or seven in his absence, 
were a competent jury, and upon an equal division the Constable had the casting 
voice. They were to report twice a year to the sessions, ' all such abominable 
sinnes ' as came to their knowledge, and had not been punished, including pro- 
fane swearing, Sabbath-breaking, and drunkenness. They were frequently to

admonish the inhabitants to instruct their children and servants in matters of 
rehgion and the laws of thecountry, and to bring up their children and apprentices 
in some honest and lawful calling or employment. They made all assessments or 
rates, which usually consisted of three, namely, the minister's rate, the town rate, 
and the country rate, the latter for the support of the general government. They 
also appointed, from time to time, two persons to be inspectors of pipestaves, a 
common article of manufacture and export at that day ; and they were likewise 
empowered to appoint a sealer of weights and measures, and a public packer or 
inspector of meat and fish, barreled for exportation. Any one of the Overseers 
might act as Constable, if the latter was indisposed, or on any emergency, pro- 
vided he carried with him the staff of the office. From among the Overseers, the 
Constable selected the jurors who attended the courts of session and assize. And 
in all matters, such as the disposing, building upon, planting, and the like, of 
their lands and woods, granting of lots, election of officers, assessing of rates, &c., 
a majority of the Overseers, with the consent of the Constable, were empowered 
to ordain such ' peculiar constitutions ' as were necessary for the welfare of the 
town, provided they were not of a criminal nature, and the penalties did not exceed 
twenty shillings for one offence, and were not repugnant to the public laws, and 
were confirmed by the Court of Sessions."* 

In September, 1666, the number of Overseers was reduced to four, any 
two of them, with the Constable, being empowered to hold town courts. 

' ' The province of New York had long suffered grievances of a very seri- 
ous character, arising from the undue authority vested in the chief magistrate of 
the colony, and the popular feeling upon this subject now exhibited itself in the 
form of a petition to the Duke of York, asking for such a modification of the 
government as would secure to the people a share in public legislation. His 
Royal Highness prudently assented, and Col. Thomas Dougan arrived at New 
York in August, 1683, with a governor's commission and special instructions to 
convene a popular legislative assembly. 

' ' The founders of Newtown brought with them to the wilds of America the 
essence of democracy. Deeply imbued with a spirit of independence, we behold 
them constantly struggling to inhale a purer liberty than the political atmosphere 
of either the Dutch or English administrations afforded. It was with no ordinary 
sensations of delight therefore that they received the warrant of the high sheriff, 
dated September 29th, authorizing them to join in electing deputies to the pro- 
posed assembly. The freeholders met on October ist, and appointed Capt. Rich- 
ard Betts, Samuel Moore, Robert Blackwell and Jonathan Hazard to go to 
Gravesend the next day, and unite with committees from the several towns of the 
riding, in the choice of delegates to the said assembly, which was to convene at 
New York on the 17th of the same month. 

' ' The meeting of this legislature, which consisted of the governor and coun- 
cil, and seventeen members chosen by the people, marked an era of the triumph 
of popular rights in this colony of no mean estimate. Its transcendent act was 
the adoption of a " charter of liberties," which provided for the holding of a gen- 
eral assembly triennially, at least, the members of which (Queen's County being 
entitled to two) were to be chosen by the major vote of the freeholders, so under- 
stood by the laws of England, which bod}', with the concurrence of the governor 
and council, was to enact all public laws, and without its consent no tax, tallage, as- 
sessment, custom, loan, benevolence or imposition whatever, could be levied on any 
of his Majesty's subjects in the province. It, moreover, conceded in all cases the 
right of fair trial by a jury of twelve, and in addition toother wholesome specifica- 
tions, provided that no person professing faith in God by Jesus Christ, should be 
in any way molested or called in question for any difference in opinion or matter 
of religious concernment, who did not actually disturb the civil peace of the prov- 
ince.

"Other changes which were thought necessary to the welfare of the country 
were instituted. The ridings were aboUshed and the province divided into coun- 
ties, Newtown being included in Queen's County, which still remains as then or- 
ganized. In these, full provision was made for sustaining the demands of justice ; 
the Court of Sessions was to meet twice a year, and the Court of Oyer and Term- 
iner annually. And in each town a primitive tribunal entitled the commissioners' 
court was ordered to be held on the first Wednesday in every month, ' for the 
hearing and determining of small causes, and cases of debt and trespass, to the 
value of forty shillings or under,' taking the place of the Overseers' Court. The 
form of town government was further modified by the introduction of the office 
of assessor and supervisor, the latter to have the supervision of the public affairs 
and expenditures of the town. Of these, two of each continued to be annually 
chosen in Newtown for some years after. The laws establishing these offices and 
the Court of Commissioners was passed on November ist. 

' ' On the publication of these laws, the people of Newtown testified their high 
gratification by seasonable measures to carry them into effect. On January 15, 
1684, they elected Jonathan Hazard, Gershom Moore, and Samuel Moore, ' com- 
missioners to sit as a town court, to try all causes of difference between man and 
man, as shall come before them.' Two days after, the commissioners appeared 
before Justice Elias Doughty,* and took the oath of office, at which time also, 
Theophilus Phillipst was chosen clerk of the court and marshal. By a law passed 
November 4, 16S5, the jurisdiction of this court was extended to cau.ses of ^5, or 
under, and to be in force seven years and no longer, but before the expiration of 
this period, the court of commissioners had ceased to exist." 

Samuel Moore held the oflSce of Commissioner of the Town Court from 
January 15, 1684-85 ; 1686-S7 ; 16S8-89. He was also elected Supervisor Feb- 
ruary 28, 1684; January 27, 1687 ; June 27, 1691. 

" The expectations of an enlightened liberty, awakened in 1683, had ended 
in fell disappointment, the course of events having fully proved that the advances 
then made towards a popular government were designed merely to conciliate pub- 
lic feeling. After the third annual assembly these popular bodies were expressly 
prohibited by the Duke of York, J who, having ascended the throne of England, 
under the title of James II, disclosed his true character in his endeavor to estab- 
lish an arbitrary government here, and introduce the Roman Catholic religion 
among the Protestant inhabitants of New York by the appointment of papists to 
the principal offices of trust and influence. The state of things in Europe clothed 
these designs with terror. There the sword of persecution was unsheathed. 
England still bled under its stroke, and Louis XIV had but just revoked the edict 
of Nantes, whereby the Protestants of France were again subjected to prison and 
the stake, or .sought security in flight, a considerable number of these exiled 
Huguenots seeking a home in this province. With these facts fresh in mind, and 
the Victims of papal intolerance before their eyes, the intelligent people became 
greatly alarmed for the safety of their country and religion. 

' ' Such was the gloomy posture of affairs at New York, in 1 689, when the pub- 
lic mind was suddenly and happily relieved by the news of the abdication of James 
II and the succession of William and Mary, who were Protestants, to the throne 
of England. The citizens of New York, regarding with suspicion the minions of 
King James, who yet held the reins of the provincial government, and incited by a 
report, then current, that the Catholics intended to rise aud massacre the Protes- 
tants, assembled in arms, on June 2nd, seized the fort, and placing at their head 
Capt. Jacob Leisler, a respected merchant, and commander of one of the train 
bands, undertook the government of the province, in the name of King William. §

lace at New York, were no less rejoiced at the news of the revolution in England, 
and the fall of the unprincipled James ; while, for the most part, they heartilj' 
acquiesced in the popular movements just mentioned. At a meeting of part of the 
inhabitants, held on June nth, Capt. Richard Betts and lyieut. Samuel Moore 
were delegated to a convention to be held in the city, with instructions " to act 
as they should see cause for the good and benefit of the country." The town 
further resolved, June 15th, to provide and maintain two soldiers to strengthen 
the garrison at New York. They also sent delegates to Jamaica, for the purpose 
of electing two persons to represent the county in a Committee of Safety,* which 
it was proposed to form for the direction of public affairs at this critical juncture. 
One of the members of said committee, chosen for Queen's, was "loyal Mr. 
Samuel Edsall," of Newtown, who was thus stj'led because of his warm attach- 
ment to the cause of the revolution, and the leading part that he acted. 

" The Committee of Safety, having convened at New York on June 26th, ap- 
pointed Capt. Leisler commander-in-chief of the Province, and instituted such 
regulations as were deemed requisite to preserve the public peace and security, 
including sundry changes in the civil and militarj' departments. Pursuant to or- 
ders, the people of Newtown proceeded to a new election of town oflBcers, October 
2d. Capt. Gershom Moore, Lieut. Samuel Moore, and Ensign Joseph Sackett 
were re-elected to their respective offices in the militia ; Samuel Edsall was ap- 
pointed Justice-of-the-Peace, and Content Titus, Jonathan Hazard and Jeremiah 
Burroughs were chosen Commissioners of the Town Court, of whom the last 
named was also appointed Town Clerk in the stead of Daniel Phillips. Benjamin 
vSeverens retained his place as Constable, being at this time Deputy Sheriif of 
Queen's County. Delegates to a County Committee for the choice of a sheriff, 
were also appointed, one of whom, John Coe, was chosen to fill that office, and 
was commissioned by Eeisler, on December 13th. 

" In the beginning of winter, despatches were received from the royal gov- 
ernment, in England, of such a nature as, in the opinion of the Committee of 
Safety, to warrant Capt. Eeisler in assuming the title of Lieutenant-Governor, 
which he accordingly did, and selected a couucil, who entered upon their office 
December nth, and of which Mr. Edsall was the member for Queen's Count}'. 
William and Mary were immediately proclaimed King and Queen at New York, t 
and in the several county towns, while the Lieutenant-Governor and Council ex- 
erted their energies to establish the authority of their new sovereign. 

" This, however, was not so easy a task ; for while the bitter opposition of 
the friends of the late King threatened to rend the province in sunder, the inroads 
of the French, on the northern frontiers, were creating the most lively apprehen- 
sions. To meet this twofold danger, Leisler sought to strengthen and increase 
the military force of the province. By his order the militia of Newtown, which, 
even in the spring of 1687, could muster ' 125 men, armed with firelocks,' was 
divided into two companies, of one of which the officers were Capt. Content Ti- 
tus, Lieut. Jeremiah Burroughs, and Ensign Robert Coe ; and of the other, Capt. 
Samuel Moore, J Lieut. Joseph Sackett, and Ensign Gershom Moore. § These 
were commissioned by Leisler, and were instructed to exercise their companies 
in arms, and maintain good order and discipline, the tactics then practiced in the 
town being, as expressed in a late return, ' distance, facings, doublings, counter 
marchings, wheelings and firings.' 

" Early in 1690, the alarming intelligence reached New York of the burning 
of Schenectady, and the cruel massacre of its inhabitants by the French army and 
their Indian allies, on the night of February 8th, and the people of Albany, 
apprehending a visit from the enemy, earnestly begged a reinforcement of troops 
for their protection. Sympathizing with his fellow-citizens in their peril, Gov. 



*"June II, 1689, it was voated and agreed that Capt. Richard Betts and Lieut. Samuel Moore go to the county- 
town to meet the deputys of other towns, to vote for two men out of the county to go to Yorke to act with the rest 
in the couiisil as a Committee of Safety." Records of Newton, I,. I.

Leisler, on February i6tb, despatched Mr. Edsall to Newtowu, with an order to 
Major Thomas Lawrence, who commanded all the forces of Queen's to expedite 
the raising of fifty men in said county for this service.* 

"As has been already hinted, Leisler and his coadjutors had experienced 
violent opposition from the friends of the late administration, who, though they 
pretended allegiance to William and Mary, denied the legality of the proceedings 
by which Capt. Leisler had been elevated to the chief seat of power. Albany had 
shown the most formidable array of opposition, but having yielded from appre- 
hension of a worse evil. Queen's County seemed now to be the chief seat of disaf- 
fection. Autumn of 1 690 found the rebel party there, ' without any provocation,' 
mustering in arms, and avowing their intentions to maintain their rebellion by 
violence. To quell this faction, Major Milborne was seut over to the island, 
October 2Sth, with a military force and instructions to prosecute the insurgents 
'with all violence and act of hostility,' until they should be wholly subdued. 
At Newtown, the same day, a proclamation was issued, of which the following is 
a part : 

FOR.ISMUCH as there are many seditious persons, who without any provocation have 
taken up arms, and appeared in a rebellious manner against his Majesty's authority, within 
this county, called Queen's, upon Long Island, and under specious pretences have drawn aside, 
and caused certain numbers of his Majesty's liege subjects to abet with them, contrary to their 
allegiance and boundeu duty, and the peace of our lord the King, his crown and dignity, and 
the security and welfare of the good inhabitants thereof: — THESE are in his Majesty's name, 
to forbid, forewarn and advertise all persons within this province, that they in no wise aid, 
succor, comfort, abet, consent to, or anywise adhere unto the said rebels, or any of their 
associates, but upon notice hereof that all such who have unadvisedly been herein concerned, 
do forthwith withdraw from them, and return to their allegiance and respective habitations, 
where they shall be preserved in their rights and properties, and peaceable enjoyment thereof; 
as they will answer the contrary at their utmost perils. 

"Two da3's only had elapsed when news was received that ' the rebels had 
been forced to fly by the forces sent to suppress them.' In order that none of 
them might escape, Mr. Edsall and Capt. Williams were despatched by water, 
with volunteer troops, to scour Flushing Bay and Long Island Sound, examine 
all vessels, land and search suspected houses, and seize the person and papers of 
those guilty of rebellion. 

' ' In this highly excited state of public feeling both parties anxiously awaited 
news from England. Leisler and his friends expected the royal approval, while 
their opponents, as heartily wishing for their condemnation, made strenuous ef- 
forts to accomplish this object, by means of highly exaggerated and false state- 
ments, which were transmitted to England to bias the royal mind against the peo- 
ple's governor. The disaffected persons in the towns of Hempstead, Jamaica, 
Flushing and Newtown, wrought up to the highest pitch of exasperation, con- 
vened a meeting on Nov. 7th, and addressed a memorial to their Majesty's secre- 
tary, complaining in the most vehement terms of Leister's proceedings, who they 
represent as having taken to himself the ' most wicked and poorest of the sons of 
men, the chief est of whom were Jacob Milborne and Samuel Edsall. These two 
base villains, with their collected rabble, in a barbarous and inhuman manner 
came over from New York to Long Island, and there did break open, plunder and 
destroy the houses and estates of their Majesty's subjects, in a most rude and bar- 
barous manner, not regarding age or sex, stripping our wives and daughters of 
their wearing apparel, carrying away all that was portable, shooting at and 
wounding divers poor Englishmen (some deemed mortal), and then went so far 
as to sequester our estates, giving no reasons for so doing, other than that we 
would not accept commissions from the pretended Lieutenant-Governor, for which 
a hundred and four of us are driven from our estates, men of the chiefest and best 
estate on Long Island.' 

"Leisler had gone too far. Intending all for good, his zeal to restore order in 
the province had led to an extremity of means, highly injudicious and fatal. His 
power now began to wane. Early in 1691 , Major Ingoldesby arrived with soldiers

from England, and demanded possession of the fort, but showing no orders, Leis- 
ler refused to surrender it.* Ingoldesby besieged the fortress, and summoned the 
citizens to repair to his standard. He directed Capt. Samuel Moore, of Newtown, to 
publish his authority, and stand ready to aid him. On March 19th, Gov. Henry 
Sloughter arrived,! and a well-meant but unfortunate delay on the part of Leisler 
to deliver up tlie fort confirmed in the Governor's mind the report of his tyranny 
and usurpation. The enemies of Leisler, though few in number, embodied the 
aristocracy, and their representations had weight. They obtained his commit- 
ment on a charge of high treason, aud being, together with his son-in-law and 
secretary Jacob Milborne, in a summary manner tried and adjudged guilty, both 
were executed at New York on May i6th, following. ' So fell Capt. Leisler and 
Mr. Milborne,' says a writer of that day, ' men of known integrity, honesty, 
and loyalty, and by a pretended course of law, contrary to all law condemned, 
where their judges were, most of them, violent enemies of the happy revolution, 
and therefore resolved to revenge themselves on these gentlemen, who were the 
most early and zealous instruments of it, aud who had first expended great part 
of their estates, and then suffered martyrdom for King William and Queen Mary, 
their religion and laws.' Leisler' s council and other adherents, among whom 
were Samuel Edsall and John Coe, were imprisoned, but escaped with their lives. 
Mr. Edsall was tried and acquitted by the same court that convicted Leisler. t" 

The letter§ of Dr. Increase Mather to Gov. Dudley expresses the popular 
feeling in reference to this unfortunate matter : 

"Boston Jany 20. 

' ' I aui afraid that the guilt of innocent blood is still crying in the ears of the Lord against 
you. I mean the blood of Leisler and Milburn. My Lord Bellamont said to me, that he was 
one of the Committee of Parliament who examined the matter; and that those men were not 
only murdered, but barbarously murdered. However the murdered men have been cleared by 
the King, Lords and Commons. It is out of my province to be a judge in things of this nature. 
Nevertheless, considering what the proper judges, who have had an impartial hearing of the 
case, have said, and what the gentlemen who drew up a bill for taking oflF the attainder from 
those poor men have written to me about it, I think you ought, for your family's sake, as well 
as your own, to lay that matter to heart, and consider whether you ought not to pray as 
Psalms, li, 14." 

The statement that the murdered men had been cleared by the King, 
Lords and Commons refers to the tardy justice indicated in 

An Act for Reversing the Attainder of Jacob Leisler and Others.** 

Whereas in the late happy revolution, the inhabitants of the province of New- York, in 
America, did in their general assembly, constitute and appoint Captain Jacob Leisler to be 
commander-in-chief of the said province, until their majesties pleasure should be known therein. 
Aud the said Jacob Leisler was afterwards confirmed in the said conmiand by his Majesty's 
letter, dated the thirtieth day of July, one thousand six hundred and eighty-nine; and the said 
Jacob Leisler having the administration of the said government of New-York, by virtue of the 
said power and authority so given and confirmed to him as aforesaid, and being in the exercise 
thereof, captain Richard Ingoldesby arriving in the said province, in the month of January, 
Anno Domini one thousand sis hundred and ninety, did without producing any legall authority, 
demand of the said Jacob Leisler the possession of the fort at New York ; but the said Jacob 
Leisler, pursuant to the trust in him reposed, refusing to surrender the said fort into the hands 
of the said Richard Ingoldesby, kept the possession thereof until the month of March then 
next following, at which lime colonel Henry Sloughter being constituted captain-general and 
governor-in-chief of the sd province, arrived there in the evening, and the said Jacob Leisler 
having notice thereof, that same night [though very late] took care to deliver the said fort to 
his order, which was done very early the next morning. 

And whereas the said Jacob Leisler, also Jacob Milbourne, Abraham Govemeur, and 
several others were arrainged in the Supreme Court of Judicature at New-York aforesaid, and 
convicted and attainted of high treason and felony, for not delivering the possession of the said 
fort to the said Richard Ingoldesby, and the said Jacob Leisler and Jacob Milborne were 
executed for the same. May it therefore please your most excellent majesty at the humble 
petition and request of Jacob Leisler, the son and heir of the said Jacob Leisler, deceased.

Jacob Milborne, the son and heir of the said Jacob Milborne, deceased, and of the said 
Abraham Governeur, that it be declared and enacted, 

And be it enadeii, bj- the king's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and 
consent of the lords spiritual and temporal and commons in this present parliament assembled, 
and by the authority of the same, that the said several convictions, judgments and attainders of 
the said Jacob Leisler, deceased, Jacob Milborne, deceased, and the said Abraham Governeur, 
and every of them, be and are repealed, reversed, made and declared null and void to all 
intents, constructions and purposes whatsoever, as if no such convictions, judgments, or 
attainders, had ever been had or given ; and that no corruption of blood, or other penalties, or 
forfeitures of goods, chattels, lauds, tenements, hereditaments, be by the said convictions and 
attainders, or either of them, incurred, any law usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. 

Whichever side the partisan may take in this historic struggle, he can make 
no dispute as to the essential honesty of Leisler in his efforts for the enlargement 
of the people's rights. The English people of Long Island, with their afSliations 
with Massachusetts, instantly realized that his cause was that of the people, and 
took sides with him. If his cause had been successful the incident, instead of 
being a usurpation and an insurrection, would have been styled a revolution, and 
Leisler' s name would have been embalmed in the memory of all patriots. " Fun- 
damentally, he was right, for he struggled to procure enlarged liberties for the 
people."* The taking of the fort was merely an incident in the struggle, and if 
Leisler can be justified in the main proposition his action was necessary and logi- 
cal. The appointment of a " Committee of Safety " at this time seems to be the 
first instance in our history, and furnished the model for that important instru- 
ment in the people's hands of effecting later their complete liberty in the Revolu- 
tion of 1776. It should never be forgotten that Leisler called the first American 
Congress on May i, 1690, the forerunner of the Continental Congress. This act 
alone proves that the narrowness attributed to him did not exist. "Even as it 
is, even in spite of his blunders and his failure, in spite of the violence and 
fanaticism which stain his record, Leislert stands as one of the early representatives 
of ideas since recognized as wholesome and statesmanlike. Moreover, the name 
of the man who called together the first Congress of American colonies must al- 
ways be pronounced with respect."! 

The hurried execution of Leisler and Milbouru, before his appeal to the 
King could be heard, was inexcusable, and reveals the character of his opponents.§ 

Captain Samuel Moore took an active part in church work. We read, May 
15. 1697, 

"That it is the desire of the town that Mr. John Morse to be ordained for to be ye 
paster and teacher of oner church according to ye trueth of the gospel, and also voted at ye 
same time above that, these men are under written chosen by the Town for to elect and carrie 
on the worke in referance to settlement of the menester in order to the act above. Capt. Beats, 
Content Titus, Samuel Moer, Charles Hallit, Joseph Sackit, Caleb Leverich, John Berrian, Mr. 
Eisel, Richard Bets, John Lawrence, John Coe, Edward Hunt, Jeremiah Burroughs, Jonathan 
Hazard." 

This record shows the vital connection between the town and the church. 

At the same meeting it was voted 

"That the town be at the charge to by a bell for the town of about ten pound price." 
The outcome of the action of May 15, 1697, is quaintly expressed in the 

following declaration on September 9th, following:

Mary 'R^eed\ the wife of Capt. Samuel Moore^ was probably the daugh- 
ter of Thomas Reed', who built the house which was used by Rev. John Moore 
as church and parsonage. In 1655 he was one of those who held consultations at 
Middelburg in reference to Indian threats. His name appears on the " Indian 
rate" for ^. i. On October 3, 1662, he, with others, purchased Plunder's 
Neck from the Indian Chiefs Womatupa, Wonoxe and Powatahuman. The 

mother of Mary Reed was Elizabeth* . After her husband's death 

she married John Burroughs, who died 1678, aged 61 years. By her first hus- 
band she had children, Joseph Reed^ and John Reed^ both of whose names are 
on the Dongan charter, 1686, Mary Reed^ the wife of Capt. Samuel Moore, and 
Sarah Reed^; by her second husband she had an only son, John Burroughs-, d. 
1655, d. 1699, who married Margaret Woodward" [Lambert", who m. Mary Moore' 
(Capt. Samuel', Rev. John')]. John Burroughs' had among other children, a 
son, John Burroughs', d. 1772, aet. 88 (will), who came to Ewing township. New 
Jersey, at the age of about twenty-one and bought a farm not far from the church, 

and adjoining the land of Judge William R. Mcllvaine. Elizabeth , 

the wife of John Burroughs', had a sister Hannah. Mary Moore, widow, appears 
in the record of the Presbyterian Church of Newtown, L. I., before 1725.

36. Capt. Samuel Moore' (Capt. Samuel', Rev. John') and Charity 
Halletf (Captain William', m. Sarah Woolsey (George), William'). 

Captain Samuel Moore" occupied the farm later owned by Samuel B. 
Townsend. The laud is described under Captain Samuel Moored [4] 

Charity Halletf was the daughter of Captain William Hallett' and 
Sarah Woolsey", his wife, daughter of George Woolsey', of Jamaica, L. I. 
William Hallett" occupied the part of his father's farm south of the road which 
later formed Greenoak, Welling, Main Streets and Newtown Avenue. He ser\'ed 
as Justice and was Captain of a foot company. His brother, Samuel Hallett, 
lived on the opposite side of the road. She was the sister of Sarah Hallett, who 
married Rev. George Phillips,* of Brookhaven, and of William Hallett who, with 
his wife Ruth and five children, was murdered January 24, 1708, by two slaves. 
The ca.se is remarkable on account of the dreadful tortures to which the murderers 
were put, and also on account of the law which was passed, entitled "An act for 
preventing the conspiracy of Slaves." She was the granddaughter of William 

Hallett' and , who was boru in Dorsetshire, England, in 1616, 

came to America, helped to found Greenwich, Ct., afterward removed to Long 
Island and bought a large propert)' at Hellgate. In 1655 his house at Hallett's 
Cove was destroyed by the Indians, after which he removed to Flushing. In 
1656 he was appointed Sheriff, but on account of his entertaining Rev. William 
Wickenden from Rhode Island was deposed by Governor Stuj^'esant. On the 
revolt of lyong Island against the Dutch, Mr. Hallett naturally advocated the 
claims of Connecticut. He was sent as a delegate to the General Court of Con- 
necticut, and was appointed Commissioner for Flushing. He returned to Hell- 
gate and died there at the age of 90. Rev. Thomas Foyer's Register contains 
the record : "Samuel Moor, Jr., and Charity, his wife, baptised August 6, 17 13, 
at Hell Gate."

After the French War several young men left Newtown and went to Santa Cruz

46. Sarah Moore' (Capt. SamueP, Capt. Samuel', Rev. John') and 
Tucker. 

From a letter in the possession of Mrs. Chambers [484], of Trenton, dated 
May II, 1800, from Sarah Tucker to her sister Elizabeth Moore, wife of Benjamin 
Moore, of Pennington, it appears that she went to spend the remainder of her 
days with her son at Shamokin, Pa. 

" As for the journey (to Shamokin ) it proved very favourable. I have been favoured 
with my health till about three weeks ago, but got better again, but as for liking the country, I 
do not. I am in expectation of ending my days here with my son and grandchildren. I am 
very thankful for the kind offer for me to return to you, but )'0U have had your share of trouble 
with me, and I cannot be thankful enough to you both." 

She wants to know when she had heard from her brothers on Long Island, 
sends her love to Augustine and his wife, names over a number of members of 
the family and friends, and signs the letter, 

" I remain your affectionate sister, 

" Sarah Tucker." 

From another letter also in the possession of Mrs. Chambers, dated March 
26, 1793, written by Sarah Moore to Elizabeth Moore, wife of Benjamin Moore, 
of Pennington, mention is made of Mr. Tucker's death : 

" I hear from Mr. Huff that Uncle Tucker is dead, that AuntSarah is living with you." 

The writer also states that her 

" Uncle John had been obliged to go from home on account of the smallpox, his chil- 
dren having had it in the natural way, but are all over it now." 

The writer signs herself 

" Your affectionate niece, 

" Sarah Moore." 

The death of Sarah Moore Tucker is announced in a letter dated Shamokin, 

September 30, 1800. 

"Honored Uncle : — 

" I take this opportunity to let you know we are all in good health, those who are left of 
us. My mother is gone ; she died the 24 July and was buried July 26 in the Church yard at Sun- 
bury. She was not well from the time I saw you last, but not so as to keep her bed altogether. 
She was sensible to the last, knew she was going and called me to her a few days before her 
death and desired me as soon as she was dead to write to )-ou and to m}' uncle on Long Island 
by the first opportunity, to let them know what was become of her, to give her love to you, to 
Aunt Betty to Austin and his wife, cousin Samuel and his family ; all her near relations and 
friends. 

' ' He hopes to see his Uncle this Fall or winter. 

" Augustine Tucker." 
Directed to 

Mr. Benjamin Moore near Pennington, N. J. 

By favour of Mr. John Hixson. 

This letter is from Augustine Moore Tucker mentioned in Augustine 
Moore's will of 1767, as sister Sarah's son. 

Sarah Moore* and ^uc%er had 

90. Augustine Moore Tucker\ m. — ; liad children. He lived at Shamokin, Pa. 



47. William Moore* (Capt. Samuel', Capt. SamueP, Rev. John') was a 
schoolmaster and surveyor. In 1742 and 1747 he was Assessor of Newtown. His 
will, in N. Y. Surrogate's ofiBce, is dated February 29, 1752. He mentions his 
father, Samuel Moore, his brothers, Samuel, John and Augustine, his sisters, 
Charity Fitch, whose son was William Moore Fitch, Sarah Tucker, Mary Wil- 
liams, Peletiah Moore and Elizabeth. The executor was "brother Nathaniel 
Moore." He was evidently unmarried.

James Lent Moore' at the time of his death was the oldest native resident 
of the old town of Newtown, as well as the oldest representative of the Moore 
family, whose history was coeval with that of the town. Mr. Moore was born on 
the farm bought of William Hallett, Sr., by Capt. Samuel Moore^ in 1684, near 
where the residence of Luke Kouwenhoven now stands, near Steinway village. 
In his youth, he attended the old Bowery Bay public school. This schoolhouse, 
like the old family homestead, long ago passed out of existence. In 1842, Mr. 
Moore went into business at 21 Fulton Street. He was one of the oldest business 
men in the city of Brooklyn and the oldest in his line of trade. His name was a 
synonym for strict honesty and upright dealings. Of sterling Christian character, 
and possessing a genial and hospitable nature, he had many friends. He was war- 
den and vestryman of St. James's Church for many years.

Riker, in his Annals of Newtown, states that it is believed that Joseph 
Moore* died unmarried. Recent discoveries show that he removed to Hunterdon 
County, N. J., where, among other property, he owned a tannery. His will 
dated 11. 5, 1757, probated 11.26, 1757, leaves part of house, etc., to his wife, 
Helena ; land east of the Scotch road to eldest son, Stephen ; land west of the 
same road to second son, Joseph ; thirty acres of land to third son, Daniel; sixty 
pounds to fourth son, John ; sixty pounds to the fifth son. Job ; sixty pounds to 
the youngest son, James ; fifty pounds to eldest daughter, Phebe ; and fifty pounds 
to the youngest daughter, Elizabeth, seventeen, when she shall arrive at the age 
of eighteen. The executors were son Joseph and brother Benjamin Moore. [344J 

His wife, Helena, was living in 1802, as indicated by the will of her son 
Joseph. He was a man of wealth and importance. In 1750 he advertised for a 
" runaway English man-servant named John Jones."*

427. Stephen Moore' (Joseph*, Joseph*, Capt. Samuel', Rev. John'). 

There is evidence that Stephen Moore' was a business man and followed the 
water. Several letters in the possession of Mrs. J. S. Chambers, of Trenton, give 
valuable information as to his relations. One letter dated New York, February 
20, 1786, Staten Island, another dated February 23, 1786, Staten Island, were 
written by J. C. Dongant to Stephen Moore, one about farm work, the other 
about " the schooner. " Another letter written from Jamaica, Long Island, June 
26, 1789, by Abraham Skinner to Stephen Moore ; he wants him to come over to 
see him about his business. It is directed to Stephen Moore near Trenton. 
Another letter from J. C. Dongan, Newtown, Long Island, October 18, 1790, 
about the farm business. Another letter directed to Stephen Moore at Mr. John 
Dongan's, near Deeker's Ferry, Staten Island, Jamaica, November 6, 1787, reads : 

Sir : I saw Mr. Robert Moore a few days since, and he says send for him to come to 
Jamaica, L. I., to attend court in the prosecution of a demand against the Executor of Samuel 
Sackett. Signed. Abraham Skinner. J 

A letter to Abraham Skinner, from near Trenton, from W. Cook, October 
5, 1791, says that Stephen Moore has applied to him respecting his suit against 
the executor of Sackett, and that if Skinner will send him the papers or an extract 
of them he will endeavor to put them in a situation to be tried at the first oppor- 
tunity. Signed, W. Cook. 

A letter from David Moore^ (John*, Samuel', Capt. SamueP), Newtown, 
Hell Gate Neck, March 8, 1795, directed to Joseph Moore, Hopewell, New Jersey, 
a brother of Stephen Moore (Joseph and Helena), informs him that Stephen has 
fallen sick in the township of Flushing at the house of Mr. Edmund Willetts. 
Signed, " From your friend David Moore." 

Another letter from David Moore, dated March 26, 1799, to Joseph Moore, 
Hopewell, informs him that his brother Stephen died the 14th of March at Flush- 
ing, at the house of Mrs. Comwell and Mrs. Willetts, sister of Ned Willetts, 
where he had the greatest care and attention. He was buried at Newtown, 
amongst his relations. Signed, David Moore. 



428. Joseph Moore' (Joseph*, m. Helena , Joseph', Capt. Samuel', 

Rev. John') and Joanna . 

Joseph Moore' died in 1804, without children. In his will he mentions his 
"aged mother" and directs that after his wife, Joanna, is provided for, the re-

' ' In memory of Capt. James Moore who died at Princeton, November 29th, 
1832, aet. 80 years. 

" Capt. Moore enjoyed in a high degree the confidence and esteem of his 
townsmen. In his country's struggle for independence, he was an active and effi- 
cient officer in the militia of his native State. At the time of his death, and many 
years before, he was Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church of Princeton. 

" He was trustee of the Presbyterian Church from 1786 to 1831. He attended 
upon the Council of Safety and executed the requests and orders of that body in 
Princeton. ' '

" Defence of the college was not long persisted in. Captain James Moore, 
of the Princeton militia, with a few others, burst open one of the doors and de- 
manded the surrender of the troops within. They complied, and, with a few in- 
valids, were made prisoners. The greater number of their fellow soldiers were 
already on their retreat towards New Brunswick. Washington, after despatching 
a detachment under Major Kelly of the Pennsylvania militia to break the bridge 
over Stony Brook, to retard the advance of Cornwallis, followed up the fleeing

wards Professor of Mathematics in the University of Nashville, Tenn.; for three 
}-ears he took charge of an Academy at Allentown, N. J., and in November, 1830, 
entered the Junior class in the College of New Jersey, where he graduated in 1832. 
In the fall of that year he commenced the study of theology in Princeton Seminary, 
but for some months he also acted as a tutor in the college, and completed his theo- 
logical course in the fall of 1835. In July, 1836, he became pastor of the West 
Nottingham Church, and what is now Port Deposit Church, at the same time taking 
charge of the West Nottingham Academy. His pastorate here was greatly blessed 
by numerous additions to the church. He became Professor of lyatin and Greek 
in Lafayette College in 1850, and filled the chair until March, 1855, when, much 
broken in health, for four years, he recruited his strength as a country pastor in 
Newtown, Pa. In June, 1859, he went to California with a commission from the 
Board of Education to lay the foundation of a Presbyterian college on the Pacific 
Coast, a work in which he was eminently successful. In 1865-9 his name again 
appeared on the catalogues of Lafayette College as Professor of Biblical Instruc- 
tion. Returning to California, he took an active part in the organization, in 187 1, of 
the San Francisco Theological Seminary, in which he was, from its opening, the 
Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Literature. In 1853 tie published his 
Commentary on the Song of Solomon, and three years later, "Octorara," a poem.*

(Joseph', Simon', Simon'). 

Benjamin Moore' came into possession of the property, near Newtown vil- 
lage, previously owned by his grandfather, Rev. John Moore, and which later 
became the residence of John Jacob Moore". Where Broadway, in Newtown vil- 
lage, turns towards the southwest and becomes the Hallett Cove Road, there is an 
old house, built between 1734 and 1738, still standing, called " the Witte house." 
This is the homestead of a branch of the Moore family. Before this the field 
belonged to Joseph Sackett and then to his son. Rev. Samuel Sackett. Opposite 
the Witte house is the land of Lieut. Samuel Moore*, son of Benjamin Moore'. 
The latter, who owned the land on the Shell Road, conveyed to his son, Lieut. 
Samuel*, the northwestern half of the cleared land and meadow and half the young 
orchard. Samuel* built a house on this lot, and died in 1788. The farm, after his 
death, became the property of Jacob Moore', brother of Bishop Moore, who married 
in succession Hannah and Elizabeth Waters. After Jacob Moore's death the 
property was di\nded among the Walker, Innes, John Jacob Moore estates and 
Locust Grove. Some of the property was owned by John Penfold. Bishop Moore 
was born here, and Hannah Moore, wife of Capt. Daniel Sackett Moore. In 1715, 
Benjamin Moore' was sergeant in Capt. Daniel Stevenson's company of militia. f

pecially wanted were those who hadlearned from the past, and were conservatively 
busy in the present, commanding universal re-spect and building foundations 
quietly. A man for his time was found when Mr. Moore began his ministry in 
New York, two years before the Declaration of Independence. 

" His earlier history, therefore, becomes a matter of interesting inquiry. 
He had an elder brother, who inherited the paternal estate at Newtown, and 
whose descendants continue to live on the property to this day. Another brother, 
William, studied medicine, and became one of the most eminent physicians of 
New York, in the early part of the century. 

" Benjamin was sent to school at New Haven, where he had the advantages 
for instruction that surrounded Yale College. But preferring to become a student 
of King's College (now Columbia), he removed to New York and was fitted for 
it in a preparatory school. lyittle thought had he on the day when he was admit- 
ted as a Freshman, that he should become one of the most honored presidents of 
the institution he was entering, and that his college should then bear a new 
name in a new nation. 

" After his graduation," (in 1768) says Dr. Berriau, " hestudied theology 
at Newtown, under the direction of Dr. Samuel Auchmuty, rector of Trinity 
Church, and for several years he taught L,atin and Greek to the sons of gentle- 
men in New York. He went to England in May, 1774, was ordained deacon on 
Friday, June 24, in the chapel of the Episcopal palace at Fulham, by Richard 
Terrick, Bishop of L,oudon, and priest, on Wednesday, June 29, 1774, in the same 
place and by the same bishop. 

"Returning from England, he was appointed, with the Rev. John Bowden 
(afterward Dr. Bowden, of Columbia College), an assistant minister of Trinity 
Church, Dr. Auchmuty being rector and afterward Dr. Inglis, since Bishop of 
Nova Scotia. 

"At the beginning of Mr. Moore's ministry, the first Trinity Church 
(much larger and more imposing than the second) was still standing, and .so re- 
mained until it was swept away in the conflagration which destroyed that part of 
the city in September, 1776. Built in 1696, and twice enlarged, its dimensions 
were now one hundred and forty-six feet in length, by seventy-two in width, and 
its spire was one hundred and eighty feet high. Two chapels belonged to the 
parish, St. George's, built in 1752, and St. Paul's, in 1766. As yet, there was 
no St. John's chapel. That was erected in 1807. 

' ' Through all those trying years, when the enemies of the church were 
many, and the site of its chief sanctuary was marked by a blackened ruin, the 
young assistant persevered in his work, until, twelve years later, in 1788, he saw 
a new Trinity Church completed, though smaller than the old edifice. Dr. Berrian 
says of his entire ministry in the pari.sh : ' His popularity was unbounded, and his 
labors most extensive, so that in the period of thirty-five years, he celebrated" 
3,578 marriages, and baptized 3,064 children and adults.' 

" Not only was he considered a man of learning, but of much power as a 
preacher. ' His voice, though not strong, was so clear and musical that every 
syllable could be heard in the most remote part of the church.' His words were 
reinforced by the life which the people knew so well, and so thoroughly revered. 
Gentleness, kindness, simplicity, and a personal interest in his parishoners, to- 
gether with great consistency, were his characteristics. Even in middle life there 
was something venerable in his appearance ; and very familiar to New Yorkers 
were his intellectual head, plain-parted hair, tall, thin and slightly bending figure, 
and the blending in his manner of gentleness and courtesy. He was called apos- 
tolic. Theologically, he was a high-Churchman for his day.

" Bishop Provoost resigned the rectorship of Trinity Church in 1800 and 
Dr. Moore at once succeeded him in the parish, and afterwards in the diocese. On 
the 5th of September, iSoi, he was unanimously elected Bishop of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church, in the State of New York. He was so manifestly the man for 
the place that his election .seemed to be spontaneous. A few days afterward, 
September 11, 1801, he was consecrated in St. Michael's Church, Trenton, New 
Jersey, by Bishop White, of Pennsylvania, Bishop Claggett, of Maryland, and 
Bishop Jarvis, of Connecticut. 

' ' During his episcopate Bishop Moore remained rector of Trinity Church, the 
two positions in those days being ordinarily held by the same person. Such an 
arrangement was the more practicable, because the confirmation visitations were 
so much fewer then than now. The list of parishes in the entire State of New 
York entitled to representation in the Convention of 1804, is as follows : In New 
York City, Trinity Church and its three chapels ; Church du St. Esprit, St. 
Mark's in the Bowery, and Chri.st Church; and beyond New York City single par- 
ishes in the following places : New Rochelle, Catskill, Newtown and Flushing, 
Yonkers, Brooklyn (St. Ann's), Hudson, Staten Island, Rye, Bedford, Albany, 
Poughkeepsie (Rev. Philander Chase, rector), Fishkill, Hempstead, New Stam- 
ford, East Chester, West Chester, besides stations in Orange and Otsego Counties. 
These parishes were served by twenty-eight clergy. 

" The extent of the annual visitations is given by Bishop Moore himself. 
At the Diocesan Convention of iSoS he makes the following report : 'Since the 
last meeting of the convention (exclusive of the four congregations which are 
more immediately committed to my pastoral care as rector of Trinity Church), I 
have visited the following churches for the purpose of administering the holy rite 
of confirmation : Christ Church, New York ; St. Ann's, Brooklyn ; St. Andrew's, 
Staten Island ; Trinity Church, New Rochelle ; St. Peter's, West Chester ; St. 
Paul's, East Chester ; St. Mark's, Bowery; St. John's, Yonkers. In the before- 
mentioned period of time, six hundred and ninety-two persons have been con- 
firmed. We have ten young gentlemen who have signified their intention of ap- 
plying for admission into Holy Orders.' 

"In 1809, the bishop reports : ' During the last year I have administered the 
holy rite of confirmation in the following churches : Grace Church, Jamaica ; St. 
James', Newtown ; St. George's, Flushing ; St. Michael's, Bloomingdale ; Trinity 
Church, New York ; Christ Church, Hudson ; St. Peter's, Albany ; St. Paul's, 
Troy; Trinity Church, Lansingburgh; St. George's, Schenectady ; Episcopal 
congregation in the Lutheran Church, Athens ; St. Luke's, Catskill. In the course 
of these visitations I have confirmed three hundred and four persons.' 

"It will be observed that though these confirmations were occasional, the 
classes were large. The extent of the bishop's duties as rector maj' be inferred 
from the fact that in 1804 there were in Trinity parish 1,000 communicants, 115 
marriages, 378 baptisms, and 400 funerals. 

"Bishop Moore's episcopate was marked by the steady growth of the dio- 
cese. Christ Church, New York City, was received into union with the conven- 
tion in 1802, St. James', Goshen, in 1803, and the Church du St. Esprit was con- 
secrated ; St Paul's, Claverack and Warwick, was received in 1804, St. Stephen's, 
New York City, and the Church at Athens, and Coxsackie in 1806, and St. 
Michael's, Bloomingdale, in 1807. The year 1810 was very fruitful. On the i8th 
of March a young man of excellent promise was ordained deacon in St. John's 
Chapel. His name was William Berrian. Who could say that he would not some 
day become rector of Trinity parish itself. On the 22d of March, Zion's Lutheran 
Church, in Mott Street, conformed toour communion, and its Pastor, Ralph Willis- 
ton, was ordained on the following day. On the 17th of May the new St. James' 
Church, Hamilton Square, five miles distant from the city, among the country 
seats of prominent churchmen, was consecrated ; also on the gth of June, Trinity 
Church, Geneva, July 8th, Christ Church, Cooperstown, and October 17, St. 
Matthew's, Bedford. 

"During all these j'ears of diocesan work, the Rev. Mr. Hobart, of Trinity 
Church, afterward Bishop Hobart, was the active and most efficient helper of

Bishop Moore ; and by his co-operation the Protestant Episcopal Theological So- 
ciety was established in 1806, and became the germ of the General Theological 
Seminary. The Bible and Common Prayer Book Society was also established in 
1809. 

"In February, 181 1, the bishop was attacked by paralysis, and called a 
special convention in May, for the purpose of electing an assistant bishop. Dr. 
Hobart was chosen, and after his consecration performed all the duties of the dio- 
cese. Bishop Moore withdrew into the sacred retirement of an invalid, where his 
bearing is said to have been saintly ; and he fell asleep on the 27th of February, 
18 16, in the sixty-sixth year of his age. 

" During his episcopate a question arose with regard to his jurisdiction, 
but it was one into which he did not enter, and it does not form a part of his 
history. 

' ' Bishop Hobart preached his funeral sermon, in which he said : ' He lives 
in the memory of his virtues. He was unafiFected in his temper, in his actions, in 
his every look and gesture. Simplicity, which throws such a charm over talents, 
such a lustre over station, and even a celestial loveliness over piety itself, gave its 
coloring to the talents, the station, and the piety of our venerable father. 

" ' People of the congregation ! You have not forgotten that voice of sweet- 
ness and melody, yet of gravity and solemnity, with which he excited while he 
chastened your devotion ; nor that evangelical eloquence, gentle as the dew of 
Hermon.' "* 

It may not be amiss to present an account of the ordination of Mr. Richard 
Channing Mooref and Mr. Joseph G. C. Bend, as it seems to have been novel at 
that time. 

" On Sunday last, J in St. George's Chapel, in this city, Mr. Richard C. 
Moore and Mr. Joseph G. J. Bend were ordained deacons of the Episcopal Church 
by the Right Rev. Samuel Provoost, D.D., Bishop of said church in this State. 
These gentlemen, according to the usages of the Church, are ordained Deacons, 
with special permission to preach, and it is requisite that the}' should continue 
Deacons for some time, previous to their admission to the order of Priesthood. 
The Chapel was unusually crowded, the ceremonies of Episcopal ordination being 
novel§ in America, The solemnity of the occasion, the great good conduct which 
was observed through every part of it, and an excellent sermon, delivered by the 
Rev. Benjamin Moore with an admired diction and eloquence peculiar to him, 
made a pleasing impression upon the audience. We cannot on this occasion, but 
with pleasure reflect that the Protestant Episcopal Church, in these States, is now 
perfectly organized and in full enjoyment of each spiritual privilege (in common 
with other denominations), requisite to its preservation and prosperity." 

Benjamin Moore^ received the degree of A.B. from King's College, 1768, 
and A. M. later ; in 1775 he served as president />w tempore ; in 1784 he became 
Professor of Rhetoric and Logic, and held the chair for three years ; in 1789 he 
received the degree of S. T. D.; from 1787 to 1802 he was Regent of the Univer- 
sity of New York ; he became President of King's College in 1801 and continued 
in the ofiBce until 1812 ; he was trustee from 1802-1813 ; he was Bishop of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church, N. Y., from 1801 until his death, 1816. He was 
the first Secretary of the ' ' Corporation for the Relief of Widows and Children of 
Clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of New York," 
founded September 29, 1769. In 1782 he was Deputy Chaplain of the hospital staff 
and was stationed in New York City ; at the same time he was Assistant Rector.

Mr. Moore opened the meetings of the Provincial Congress with prayer in 
the early days of excitement preceding the Revolution. Bishop Moore adminis- 
tered the communion to Alexander Hamilton after the duel with Aaron Burr, and 
was one of the assistants at the inauguration of George Washington as President.* 

The events attending the death of Hamilton are best given in Bishop 
Moore's own words : 

' ' Upon my entering the room and approaching his bed, with the utmost 
calmness and composure he said : ' My dear sir you perceive my unfortunate sit- 
uation, and no doubt have been made acquainted with the circumstances which 
led to it. It is my desire to receive the communion at your hands. I hope you 
will not conceive there is any impropriety in my request.' He added, ' It has 
been for some time past the wish of my heart, and it was my intention to take an 
early opportunity of uniting myself to the Church by the reception of that holy 
ordinance.' I observed to him that he must be very sensible of the delicate and 
trj'ing situation in which I was then placed ; that, however desirous I might be 
to afford consolation to a fellow mortal in distress, still it was my duty as a min- 
ister of the Gospel to hold up the law of God as paramount to all other laws and 
that, therefore, under the influence of such sentiments I must unequivocally con- 
demn the practice which had brought him to his present unhappy condition. He 
acknowledged the propriety of these sentiments, and declared he viewed the late 
transaction with sorrow and contrition. I then asked him : ' Should it please God 
to restore you to health, sir, will you never be again engaged in a similar trans- 
action, and will you employ your influence in society to discountenance this bar- 
barous custom ? ' His answer was, ' That, sir, is my deliberate intention.' I pro- 
ceeded to converse with him on the subject of his receiving the communion, and 
told him that with respect to the qualifications of those who wished to become 
partakers of that holy ordinance my inquiries could not be made in language more 
expressive than that which was used by our Church — ' Do you sincerely repent of 
your sins past? Have you a lively faith in God's mercy through Christ, with a 
thankful remembrance of the death of Christ ? And are you disposed to live in 
love and charity with all men?' He lifted up his hands and said : ' With the 
utmost sincerity of heart I can answer those questions in the affirmative. I have 
no ill will against Colonel Burr. I met him with a fixed resolution to do him no 
harm. I forgive him all that happened.' I then observed to him that the ter- 
rors of the divine law were to be announced to the obdurate and impenitent, but 
that the consolations of the Gospel were to be offered to the humble and contrite 
heart, that I had no reason to doubt his sincerity and would proceed immediately 
to gratify his wishes. The communion was then administered, which he received 
with great devotion, and his heart afterward appeared to be perfectly at rest. I 
saw him again this (that) morning, when with his last faltering words he ex- 
pressed a strong confidence in the mercy of God through the intercession of the 
Redeemer. I remained with him until 2 o'clock this (that) afternoon, when 
death closed the awful scene. He expired without a struggle and almost with- 
out a groan."

Near the Rector Street side of Trinity grounds in New York can be seen 
" G. Bend's Vault," which covers the remains of " Bishop Benjamin Moore and 
Charity, his wife." In the church itself is a recumbent effigy of the Bishop in 
marble. 

Charity Clarke was the daughter of Major Thomas Clarke*, a retired of- 
ficer of the British Army, born August ii, 1692. 

Major Clarke bought a tract of land extending from what is now Nine- 
teenth Street to Twenty-fourth Street, and from the Hudson River to what is now 
Eighth Avenue. Here he built a handsome house about 1750 and called it 
" Chelsea," after the famous hospital near London. The house was burned down 
during the last illness of its owner, and he nearly perished in the flames. His 
widow rebuilt it. The house and a large portion of the land were left to her 
daughter Charityf. In 1745 Major Clarke married Mary Stillwell. By this mar- 
riage there were four children — Mary, who married Richard Vassal, Charity, 
Maria Theresa, and Clement. Maria Theresa married Viscount Barrington, cousin 
of Theodosia Bartow, wife of Col. Burr, who was first married to General Prevost, 
a British officer. Mary was Lady Holland. It is said that Lady Aflic was a rel-

'T WAS the night before Christmas, when all through 

the house 
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse ; 
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, 
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there ; 
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, 
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads ; 
And Mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, 
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, 
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, 
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. 
Away to the window I flew like a flash. 
Tore open the shutters and threw up tlie sash. 
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, 
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below. 
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear. 
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, 
With a little old driver, so lively and quick. 
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. 
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, 
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by 

name : 
" Now, Dasher! now. Dancer! now, Pt ancer And Vixen! 
On, Comet ! on, Cupid ! on, Donder and Blitzen ! 
To the top of the porch ! to the top of the wall ! 
Now dash away ! dash away ! dash away all !" 
As dn,' leaves that before the wild hmn'cane fly. 
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky ; 
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, 



With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. 
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, 
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof- 
As I drew in my head, and was turning around, 
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. 
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, 
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot ; 
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, 
And he look'd like a pedlar just opening his pack. 
His eyes— how they twinkl'd ! his dimples how merry I 
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry I 
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow. 
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow ; 
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth. 
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath ; 
He had a broad face and a little round belly. 
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. 
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, 
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself ; 
A wink ofhis eye and a twist of his head 
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread ; 
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. 
And fiird all the stockings ; then turned with a jerk, 
And laying his finger aside of his nose. 
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose ; 
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, 
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. 
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, 
" Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.^''^

hearts cheerful memories of childhood ! Such, at least, if no higher, has been the 
lot of the late Dr. Clement C. Moore, the author of ' A Visit from St. Nicholas,' 
which has now been a household friend of American children for nearly seventy- 
five years, and promises to be dear to them for many and many a year to come. 

"Dr. Moore belongs to the group of minor singers whose right to be remem- 
bered rests on a very small amount of verse achieved. There are poets who hold 
their place, and will long hold it, in every anthology by right of two or three 
poems ; others who are known but by one ; and others, again, who live but by a 
single line, or at most hy a couplet in some poem, all the rest of which is forgot- 
ten. In the case of Dr. Moore, nothing he has written is likely to survive except 
the ' Visit from St. Nicholas ' ; and this lives, not by right of poetry, but by its 
innocent realism and its direct appeal to the matter-of-fact imagination of child- 
hood. For children — and this is as true of girls as it is of boys — rarely love poetry, 
and they tolerate verse only when it pleases their infant years with jingle, or 
when, grown older, its rhymes and ' ordered lines' dress up some narrative that 
has at least the look of being 'true.' Even then they are apt to wonder why 
the story could not have been as well told in plain prose. 

" Mr. William S. Pelletreau, in the interesting account of Dr. Moore's life 
which he has just published, tells us that the 'Visit from St. Nicholas' was 
written in 1822 as a Christmas present for his children ; and that a young lady* 
\'isiting the family copied it into her album, and sent it, unknown to Dr. Moore, 
to the editor of the Troy Sentinel, who printed it, without the author's name, in 
the issue of that journal for December 23, 1823. From the newspaper it found 
its way to the school-readers, and speedily became a great favorite with children 
all over the country. 

" Mr. Pelletreau tells us that Dr. Moore was at first annoyed by the appear- 
ance of the poem in print, as he had not intended it for the public, and thought 
it a mere trifle with but slight literary merit. No doubt it was with some mis- 
givings that, twenty years later, he gave it a place in the volume of his collected 
poems. With the proverbial blindness of writers, he probably thought this play- 
ful sally, written to please his youngsters at their Christmas merry-making far in- 
ferior to its all-forgotten companions, of which he says in his preface : ' Some 
of them have cost me much time and thought, and I have composed them all as 
carefully and correctly as I could.' 

" But, alas ! for the self-esteem of poets, immortalities and oblivions are not 
distributed on their own terms. They take much pains to please their peers 
among the learned and the cultivated, who ' scarce allow them half an eye ' ; 
while some flower chance-dropped from their hands is picked up by a child in 
passing, and, to their surprise, — sometimes, it maybe, to their disdain, — they find 
that out of the mouths of babes and sucklings their praise has been ordained. 
The bright-eyed procession of children — most beautiful, most precious of all the 
beautiful and precious things in our world — has kept Dr. Moore's unconsidered 
trifle alive for all these years ; and it has earned its right to live by the clearness 
of its conception and the directness with which the story is told. It is a true piece 
of Dutch painting in verse, and it is not surprising that it should have been trans- 
lated into painting so many times. For nothing is left to the copyist's fancy ; he 
has but to trace the poet's lines with his pencil. And, trifle as it is, it has a fair 
claim to originality as a conception. Dr. Moore's St. Nicholas has become the 
accepted personification of this kindly purveyor of toys and playthings ; and this 
particular avatar is one in which, so far as we know, the benevolent saint never 
appeared before. His German prototype is, by comparison, a somewhat stolid 
and formal personage, who goes through his task of distributing gifts somewhat 
in the spirit of an expressman delivering his parcels, or of a schoolmaster giving 
out prizes at commencement. Dr. Moore's St. Nicholas, on the other hand, has 
animal spirits in plenty, and a most contagious love of fun ; and the children are 
in love with him as soon as they set eyes on him. Many a child must have won- 
dered how the saint contrived to get round to so many houses in a single night ; 
but no story-teller before Dr. Moore ever let him into the .=ecret. That he should 
have come in a sleigh was likely enough, but a sleigh drawn by reindeer is a fancy

as unexpected as it is pretty. The invention of most story-tellers would have got 
no further than horses. An added touch of reality is the ' ashes and soot ' on 
the fur coat of St. Nicholas. The conventional German saint is always miracu- 
lously clean, when, to the amazement of the children, he comes walking out of 
the chimney. ' Comes,' do we say ? How can he long continue to come out of 
the chimney in houses where gas-logs, asbestos rag-bags, steam-radiators, and 
furnace-registers have usurped the life-giving hearth, the center of the home life, 
the heart of hospitality ? 

" While the Widow Clarke occupied ' Chelsea Farm ' her house was seized 
by the British on the stormy uprising of the ' rebels ' ; and, like every other 
householder, she was obliged to accept whatever military guard might be quar- 
tered upon her. Many of these householders left their dwellings to the tender 
mercies of the enemy and fled ; but Mrs. Clarke was advised to remain, and she 
was fortunate in her enforced guest, who proved to be a gallant officer and a 
courteous gentleman, who spared her goods and treated her and her daughters 
with consideration. 

"It was in this house that Bishop Moore's only child was born — a son, who 
was named after his mother's only brother, Clement Clarke. After receiving the 
elements of his education from his father, he entered Columbia College, and was 
graduated in 1798. He was fitted for the ministry, but he never took orders; 
and continuing to live in his father's house, he devoted himself to Oriental and 
classical studies, and employed his leisure in writing verse, not for profit or pub- 
lication, but to lighten his severer labors and amuse his children and his friends. 
His first printed venture was made in 1806, as the anonymous contributor to the 
book of a friend, which also appeared anonymously — a dingy little volume 'on 
gray paper with blunt type,' printed for E. Sargeant, at No. 39 Wall Street, 
opposite the United States Bank — ' A New Translation, with Notes, of the Third 
Satire of Juvenal, to which are added Miscellaneous Poems, Original and Trans- 
lated.' It would seem as if the authors were a little afraid of the sound of their 
own voices ; for in the only copy we have been able to find of this book, the names 
of the translator and his friend are written with ink on the title-page by some one 
in the secret, but have been obstinately erased, and are to be read only by those 
who have learned from R. W. Griswold's ' Poets of America ' what the names 
must be. By applying this X-ray to the inky blot, the names are clearly to be 
read of John Duer and Clement C. Moore. 

" The introduction written by Moore for his friend's translation is apropos 
of nothing in that translation, but simply serves as a hook on which to hang cer- 
tain animadversions, as .severe as the constitutional good nature of the writer 
would permit, on a group of lackadaisical poets and poetasters of the town, who, 
as Mr. Moore and his friend thought, were having too much their own way. The 
verse they criticized was certainly worthless alike in form and matter ; but it must 
be said that neither the new translator of Juvenal nor the author of the poems 
that accompanied it (who was acknowledged, in a note, to be the writer of the in- 
troduction) was by right entitled to be too severe on the disciples of Laura Ma- 
tilda and the Delia Cruscans. 

" Thirty-eight years later, in 1844, Messrs. Bartlett and Welford (how much 
pleasure is associated with those names in the mind of once young book-loving 
New Yorkers), published ' Poems by Clement C. Moore, LL.D.,' and in this 
volume were found, among others, all the verses signed ' L,. ' that had appeared 
in Mr. Duer's book. Here was ' A Visit From St. Nicholas,' in the company of 
verses so perfunctory, written in a style so different, so artificial and tame, so 
empty of matter, that it would be difficult to believe them written by the same 
hand, were it not that in 'A Trip to Saratoga,' with which the volume opens, 
there is a distinctly natural tone in the narrative style, and the same is found in 
the ' Lines to Southey,' with which the volume closes. But the ' Trip to Sara- 
toga ' has little to recommend it beyond proving that Dr. Moore could tell a plain 
tale in plain words, when he was so inclined, or when he was reallj' moved to 
write. The ' Lines to Southey ' were written but never sent, after reading the 
dedication by that poet of ' A Tale of Paraguay ' to his daughter, Edith May

Southey. In Moore's poem he laments the loss of his wife and two of his children; 
and his grief has a note that makes its way to the heart in spite of the formal ver- 
sification that hinders its free motions. 

" The wonder would have been perhaps, if anybody in New York at that 
time had written poetry worth preserving. Certainly the city must have been a 
pleasant place to live in, half town, half country, as it was — a large village fringed 
with smaller villages or hamlets, with green fields, fruitful farms and well- 
kept estates stretching along the once beautiful waters that bounded it on each 
side. But if it had all the charms of this semi-rural life, it had all the disadvan- 
tages of such a condition. We have only to skim the pages of Mr. Philip Hone's 
diary (Mr. Hone, socially one of the most prominent men of his time, and a warm 
friend of Dr. Moore) to discover what a Little Peddlington the smaller New York 
must have been in those days. The two great passions that divided the public 
mind were politics and trade ; and as these were strictly interdependent, it is no 
wonder that, almost homogeneous as the public was in race, and but little sepa- 
rated in its interests, it took things with a seriousness that kept the social pot for- 
ever boiling over. 

"But in the midst of all thi ssocial turmoil and hubbub, the life of Dr. Moore 
flowed tranquilly on in his home at Chelsea Farm, among his books, with his 
music and his flowers, like one of the many small streams that in his day pursued 
their quiet way through the fields of Greenwich and the streets of the bustling 
city. His more laborious hours were passed in his work as instructor in the 
Oriental languages and in Hebrew. In 1809 he published a Hebrew lexicon in 
two volumes— the first that had appeared in America — and thus became the 
pioneer in that study here. 

"In 1 8 18 Dr. Moore presented to the General Theological Seminary of the 
Episcopal Church, as a free gift, the entire block* bounded by Ninth Avenue, 
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, and extending to the Hudson River. In 1821 
he became Professor of the Oriental and Hebrew Languages in the seminary, and 
continued his work in that field during the rest of his life. 

"His Hebrew lexicon has long been superseded; his poems are forgotten ; 
but the noble foundation of the Theological Seminary — a gift such as would hardly 
be possible for even a multi-millionaire to imitate in our crowded city to-day — 
this gift to the world of scholars, and the ' Visit from St. Nicholas,' a gift to 
our children, will long keep green the memory of this learned, modest scholar and 
friend of his kind."t 

Clement Clarke Moore received his A.B. from King's College in 1798, and 
his A.M. later. In 1829 the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him. He was 
Trustee of the College from 18 13 to 1857, and Clerk of the Board from 18 15 to 
1850. From 1 82 1 to 1850 he was Professor of Hebrew and Greek Literature in 
the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church ; from 
1860-3, Professor Emeritus. Mr. Moore was an excellent musician, and for many 
years gave his services as organist in St. Peter's Church in Twentieth street, in 
what was then called the village of Greenwich ; a mural tablet here commemo- 
rates his virtues and benefactions. He was warden of St. Peter's in 1831 and 1841.

John Doughty Ogden, Prof. Clement Clarke^ Bishop Benjamin^ Eieut. Samuel*, 
Benjamin', Capt. Samuel^ Rev. John^) and Francis MacNutt. 

"Francis MacNutt was born at Richmond, Ind. The MacNutts are of Scotch 
descent, and the founder of the family in this country was one Sir Alexander 
MacNutt, who settled in Virginia in 1728. When the French were expelled from 
Acadia (Nova Scotia), he obtained grants of a large section of land in that prov- 
ince from George II. He colonized this grant with Scotch and Irish settlers, and 
founded the town of Shelbourne. The family remained in Nova Scotia until John 
MacNutt returned to Virginia in 1821. The family, with the exception of Mr. 
MacNutt's father, sided with the Confederacy in the War of the Rebellion, and 
was almost obliterated. Mr. MacNutt's father served with an Ohio regiment, 
and was mustered out with the rank of captain at the close of the war. 

" Francis MacNutt received his education at Phillips Exeter Academy, the 
Harvard Law School and at Hanover, Germany, where he was first tutored by the 
Abbe Fischer, who had accompanied the ill-fated Maximilian to Mexico as Confes- 
sor and Chaplain, and later at the Polytechnique. After finishing his education 
he went to London, where he formed the acquaintance of Cardinal Manning, in 
whose household he lived for over a year. At this period he inclined toward the 
priesthood, and for the purpose of fitting him for that, Cardinal Manning obtained 
his admission to the Accademia Ecclesiastica at Rome.

"At this time Mr. MacNutt was appointed a Privy Chamberiain by Leo XIII. 
He remained a student to within two months of his ordination, when his mind 
changed, and he shortly afterward returned to this country. 

" In the first year of the Harrison Administration he was appointed Secre- 
tary of the Legation at Constantinople, Solomen Hirsch, of Oregon, being Minis- 
ter. He remained in Turkey until 1892, when he exchanged with the Secretary 
at Madrid, arriving at that city in May, when the resignation of General E. Burd 
Grubb as Minister made MacNutt Acting Charge d' Affaires until the arrival of 
General Grubb' s successor. Colonel A. Louden Snowden, in October. Mr. Mac- 
Nutt remained attached to the Spanish Mission until July 1893. 

" He then returned to America, and remained here until the war between 
China and Japan drew him to the latter country, where he witnessed the mobili- 
zation of the army, the departure and return of the fleet and the reception of the 
news of the victories. He was returning to this country, when at Cairo, 
in Egypt, he made the acquaintance of Djemil Pacha, first cousin of the 
Khedive and later his brother-in-law through marriage with the Princess Munet. 

"This Prince, the richest of the Egyptian dynasty, was then only nineteen 
years old, and almost wholly unused to European customs. Knives and forks were 
unknown upon his table, and his manners in the drawing-room were of the most 
primitive character. Mr. MacNutt became the master of his household and taught 
him the English language and English manners. He spent two years in the house- 
hold of the Prince and in traveling to and fro through the country and visiting 
the various estates of the Prince. 

"Prince Djemil, besides the palace Monoumira, in Cairo, had a great country 
place across the Nile known as Boulac-da-Krur, the gardens of which are famous 
for the finest blood oranges and strawberries in Egypt. He also owned a great 
cotton estate in the delta of the Nile. Their time was principally spent between 
these three palaces. Mr. MacNutt could never break the Prince of his habit of 
eating with his fingers, and often in the club or when dining with friends, when 
the inclination overtook him, the prince would turn back his cuffs and return to 
the habits of primitive man to the consternation of those present. 

"After Djemil Pacha's marriage, Mr. MacNutt returned to this country, 
where he has since remained."*

" For more tlian forty years he continued unremittingly engaged in the ar- 
duous duties of an extensive practice, particularly in midwifery, estimating his 
number of cases at about three thousand. His medical papers may be found in 
the America?^ Medical and Philosophical Register, the New York Medical Repos- 
itory and the New York Medical and Physical Journal. For many years Dr. 
Moore was President of the Medical Society of the County of New York, and an 
upright and vigilant Trustee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. On his 
death the college recorded their testimony of his pre-eminent worth. He was 
Trustee of Columbia College from 1790 until his death, and chairman in 1823. 

" Dr. John W. Francis, at that time Professor of Obstetrics in the college, in 
his lecture to the class, remarked of this estimable man, as follows : ' Before I 
conclude,' says he, ' permit me to pay my feeble tribute of homage and respect 
to the memory of the late Dr. Moore, recently called from among us by the fiat 
of Providence : a bright exemplar of the virtues and the important qualifications 
demanded of the practitioner in that department of the profession, the duties of 
which I have attempted to exhibit. I am persuaded that I do not allow feelings 
of personal friendship to prevail over the deci.sions of the severest scrutiny, when 
I assert that no member of our profession has exhibited in his life and conduct, a 
more beautiful example of the dignity and benignant lustre of the medical 
character. 

" 'Honored for many years with his friendship, and admitted to the privi- 
lege of his conversation, I was early taught to look upon him with a respect and 
veneration which all my subsequent acquaintance only served to strengthen and 
confirm. Thousands among us can testify to the mildness and urbanity of his 
manners, to his tender and watchful regard for the suffering patient and sympa- 
thizing attendants, to his warm-hearted benevolence of feeling, and devotedness 
to the good of all whom his eminent attainments, or the lesson of a pure and un- 
spotted life could profit, to his strictness of moral principle and uniform devotion 
to the sacred obligations of religion. 

" ' It was but a few months ago that the governors of this institution were 
honored with his co-operation and enlightened by his counsels. How great their 
loss has been, can only be known to those who were acquainted with the liber- 
ality of his views, and his freedom from every mean and selfish bias. 

' ' ' Dr. Moore rose to his great eminence by the force of personal and pro- 
fessional merit. A liberal education had prepared him to commence with advan- 
tage his medical pursuits, and amid the toil and cares of his laborious career, he 
ever continued to recur with ardor and delight to those classical studies, in which 
he had been imbued in his j'outh. Seldom, indeed, has it happened that the two 
professions were adorned with such attainments and such private excellence, as 
were exhibited in the instances of Dr. Moore and his brother Benjamin, the late 
pious and venerable bishop of the church. While we cherish their worth, let the 
regret at our bereavement give place to a noble emulation of their pure virtue and 
active benevolence.' 

" That he was among the most eminent and useful men of which the annals 
of medicine can boast, is fully established by the disinterested observations of his 
able, learned and scientific contemporary, and his name adds one more to the 
already extended list of great and good men, in almost every department of useful 
knowledge which graces the history of Long Island." 

Dr. Moore was a vestryman of Trinity Church. 

The following extract from a letter from Miss Maria Theresa Moore, his grand- 
daughter, gives a pleasant picture of family life : " Aug. 29, 1899. Thank you for 
the pleasure you've given me by that account of my grandfather (Dr. Wm. Moore). 
I remember the dear old gentleman coming in often, with his knee-breeches, and 
boots, with a little tassel on each, which we children always investigated, and our 
Christmas visit to him and grandmother, when each child received a present. This 
custom was carried on by my uncle, N. F. Moore, whilst in Columbia College, and 
after he left New York and lived with Uncle William at Garrison, he sent to each

The mantle of the distinguished father fell appropriately upon the son, 
Samuel W. Moore, f and the honor and dignity of the family were preserved and 
transmitted. Dr. Moore was the typical physician, earnest, sympathetic, equal to 
emergency and having a genius for mechanics which was often used in surgical 
cases. He was successful in his practice and had the respect and love of his pa- 
tients. After his wife's death he spent his leisure in modeling in clay and pro- 
duced some very creditable busts of his wife and father. He lived in Warren 
Street, afterward at Broadway and Spring Streets. His portrait may be found in 
the New York Hospital. He was a vestryman of Grace Church. 

The annexed tribute to his memory by Dr. C. R. Oilman, of New York, 
shows the feelings of his professional brethren. 

The life of a practicing physician is very rarely one of startling adventures 
or striking events. His duties, though important as the value of life itself, are 
chiefly performed in the privacy of the sick-room ; and, of consequence, the man- 
ner in which he performs them is known only to the small circles of loving friends 
who gather around the bed of the sick or the dying. 



* Peter A. Jay was the brother of William Jay, who married Augusta McVickar (Anna Moore, m. John Mc- 
Vickar). [785] 

t The W. was added to his name to distinguish him from another Dr. Samuel Moore in New York City.

GENEALOGY 115 



Such a life, it may seem, presents but a barren field to the biographer. 
Bid him chronicle the victories of the warriors, the triumphs of the statesman, 
and he will devote to the task all his most brilliant powers, and do it with pride 
and pleasure. But to trace the every-day life of one who has ' ' pursued the noise- 
less tenor of his way " in that obscurity which necessarily and very properly 
shrouds most of the labors of the physician, whose path has been from sick bed 
to sick bed, and whose contests have been only with the great enemj', death — this, 
to the ambitious biographer, may seem to be an ungrateful task. But it is not, 
or at least ought not to be, an ungenial labor, to speak of a life devoted to the 
service of humanity, spent in the unostentatious performance of varied and im- 
portant duties. Especially should the task of tracing such a course be grateful 
when the duties of the man have been performed in the spirit of a Christian. 

Such a task I have imposed upon myself, in attempting to write a biograph- 
ical sketch of the life and character of Samuel W. Moore, M.D., whose recent 
removal from among us, while it has plunged a bereaved family into deep afHic- 
tion, has spread throughout a large circle of loving friends and strongly attached 
patients, a deep and abiding sorrow " that they shall see his face no more forever." 

Samuel \V. Moore was born in New York City, nth October, 17S6, the 
son of Dr. William Moore, long one of our most highly esteemed and successful 
practitioners. From early childhood his constitution was frail, and the delicacy 
of his bodily organization was equalled by the gentleness of his temper and the 
kindhness of his feelings. 

Such an one might seem to be unfitted to bear the grave responsibilities 
and act amid the appalling dangers which so often beset the physician's path, 
but this I believe is not so ; and the success of Dr. Moore adds another to the list 
of those physicians whose lives prove that it is not so. The truth seems to be 
that a strong sense of moral duty will so nen,'e the heart and strengthen the hand, 
that the most acute sensibility will only make its possessor more eager to relieve 
those sufferings by which his compassion is so strongly excited. Dr. Moore re- 
ceived his early intellectual training from Mr. Samuel Rudd, and entered Colum- 
bia College at the age of sixteen j'ears, in 1802. His connection with Columbia 
College was probably rendered more pleasant and profitable by the fact that his 
uncle, Benjamin Moore, D.D., Bishop of New York, was then President of the in- 
stitution. Several of his classmates still survive among us, and we noticed two of 
them among the sorrowing friends who assembled at his funeral. He graduated 
in regular course in 1806, and immediately commenced the study of medicine un- 
der the guidance of his father, attending lectures in the medical department of 
Columbia College, in which Dr. Wright Post then taught anatomy. Dr. Richard 
Bailey surgery, Dr. Hammersley theory and practice of physic, Dr. J. R. B. 
Rodgers midwifery, and Dr. David Hosack botany. From those distinguished 
teachers he received, in 1810, the degree of Doctor of Medicine, and immediately 
entered into full practice, taking a share of the large business of his father. This 
arrangement continued until 1824, when the elder Dr. Moore died, having prac- 
ticed physic forty-four years. His son now took his place among the prominent 
physicians of New York, with a large circle of patients, and a still larger one of 
friends ; for such was the unaffected kindness of his heart, and such the graceful 
amenity of his manners, that few became his patients without remaining ever his 
attached friends. With his professional brethren his position was peculiarly 
pleasant. A thorough medical education, and a large measure of well-improved 
experience, gave to his opinions deserved weight, and insured him, as a physician, 
a strong hold on the confidence of physicians, while his conduct, on all occasions 
so perfectly upright, his manner so dignified yet so gentle, gave him as a man the 
highest place in their regard. To quarrel with such a man was simply impossible 
and to distrust him seemed not so much a wrong as a folly. Of him it can truly 
be said, that after a successful career of more than forty years, and that in times 
of many professional contests, he made many friends, and not one single enemy 
in his own profession. Oh, si sic omnesf In 1824 he was appointed one of the 
physicians of the New York Hospital. For this situation he had moral qualifica- 
tions which are more important, and alas, more rare, than professional skill. His 



ii6 GENEALOGY 

conscientiousness insured to the poorest and most degraded of his pauper pa- 
tients a full measure of his attention, while his amiability and benevolence made 
him the friend of poor and rich alike. In 1828 he was compelled, by failing 
health, to retire from a position which he was so well fitted to adorn. 

In 1828, Dr. Moore was appointed Trustee of the College of Physicians and 
Surgeons, and continued, from that period to the end of his life, to take an earnest 
interest in the prosperity of that institution. At the time of his death he was the 
senior member of the board. In 1849, on the reappearance of the cholera. Dr. 
Moore, in conjunction with his friends, Dr. Joseph M. Smith and Dr. John B. 
Beck, was appointed medical counselors to the Committee of the Sanitary Board 
of Health. To the duties of this position, made more onerous by the fact that his 
associate. Dr. Beck, was soon, by the state of his health, disabled from taking his 
share of them, Dr. Moore devoted all his energies ; and the report published by 
the committee affords most satisfactory evidence of the ability and faithfulness 
with which this important public duty was performed. For several years, the 
health of Dr. Moore, never very robust, had been gradually declining, and he felt 
himself obliged to contract the sphere of his professional labor. Still he was unwil- 
ling entirely to give up the practice of his profession, and very many of his old friends 
were still more unwilling to be given up. In March last he met with an accident 
which, though not immediately followed by grave symptoms, caused, as afterwards 
appeared, eflfusion of blood into the cavity of the arachnoid. He continued to 
visit a few friends, and his venerable form was still seen at church ; till in July 
paralysis very gradually supervened, and on the 26th of August, 1854, 
" Gently as an infant to his sleep, 
Went he to death " — 

Dr. Moore married, in 1813, Emily, daughter of William Constable, Esq., 
by whom he had thirteen children, ten of whom yet survive to give unto God 
most " hearty thanks for the good example of him who, having finished his course 
in faith, doth now rest from his labors." 

The following resolutions show in what esteem he was held : 

At a meeting of the Board of Health held on the 3d day of October, 1849, the following 
resolution was adopted : 

Resolved, That the thanks of the Board of Health are eminently due and are hereby 
tendered to its Medical Counsel, Doctors Moore, Smith and Beck, to the resident physician, Dr. 
Geer, and to the Health Commissioner, Dr. Morris, for their vigilant, constant and untiring 
exertions in behalf of and for the preservation of the health of the city, and their efficient aid 
rendered to this Board during the summer last passed, a summer characterized throughout the 
prevalence of the cholera with a fearful mortality, imposing great unusual hazard, labor and 
responsibility upon the medical gentlemen above named.

645. Maria Theresa Moore' (Dr. Samuel W.', Dr.William^ Lieut. Sam- 
uel*, Benjamin', Capt. Samuel', Rev. John'). 

The compiler of this work is under many obligations for help rendered by 
Miss Moore, who lives in Stamford, Conn. Her interesting letters have been a 
source of pleasure and her investigations have saved from oblivion many facts. 

She has several relics — linen napkins with the Moore crest woven in the 
center, her father's seal with the crest engraved upon it, a silver tankard be- 
longing originally to Lieut. Samuel Moore*, the cover marked S. M., left to her 
father by his grandfather, whose name he bore ; a thimble given her by Mrs. 
de Rham, her godmother, who was named after Maria Theresa Clarke, Bishop 
Moore's wife's sister, who married Viscount Barrington, and who presented it to 
Mrs. De Rham. "It is silver, only the top solid, the lower part pretty filigree work 
and closed by a screw-end, on which 'Maria' is engraved, and makes a seal." Maria 
Theresa Clarke was a cousin of Theodosia Bartow, the wife of Col. Burr. She has a 
letter written bj- Theodosia Burr Alston*, to her mother, from Saratoga. Her 
reminiscences are exceedingly noteworthy. Here are some: " We were born in 
Warren Street, and when a child my grandmother called me to the window and, 
pointing out a white-haired, bent man, leaning on the arm of a tall colored 
nurse, said, ' that is Aaron' Burr, remember the name when you hear all about 
him one of these days.' 

" All that I know of his grandfather (Bishop McVickar's), is that he had 
a country seat on the Hudson which he sold to my grandfather, Constable, which 
has since been used as an institution called ' The House of Mercy,' possibly now 
it may be included in Greater New York. 

" In addition to my grandmother I found old acquaintances of my child- 
hood in ' Mrs. White and her beautiful daughters,' who often visited my grand- 
mother, living in Murray Street , when we lived in Warren, close by, but I feel as 
if I told of their peculiarities in a former note and how the British ofEcers all be- 
sieged their house before leaving, for a last farewell." This on receipt of a book 
describing the Meschianza ball in Philadelphia in 1778. 

" Some time if you ever meet Mr. O. H. Perry will you ask him how he is 
related to Commodore Perry. I recollect Calbraith and a younger one, Willie, I 
think. The family were friends of ours." 

" Perhaps Theresa Moore in England might recollect some of the old-time 
talk of her grandmother (the Bishop's widow), who lived in their delightful old 
house with them, and was always called 'dear;' their mother they could scarcely 
remember, she and her two elder daughters died so long ago." 

' ' Eugene Bicknell is grandson of a third sister of my mother who married 
a Pierrepont, and lived in Brooklyn in a large old house on the heights, one of 
Washington's headquarters long ago destroyed." 

" One small teaspoon marked wV, William and Jane, I suppose, my grand- 
father and grandmother. She was related to the Hamilton and Stuyvesant-Fish 
family, I always understood, and I recollect them visiting at our house in Warren 
Street when I was young." 

" Francis Van Rensselaer was the son of Jeremiah Van Rensselaer, and his 
mother was a Miss Fo.ster, of Boston. Their home was at Greenbush, just across 
the river from Albany — such a solid old house, walls two feet thick built of brick 
from Holland, and on each upper floor a brick left out here and there with a reg- 
ular opening through, for the convenience of shooting attacking Indians."

646. William Constable Moore' (Dr. Samuel W.', Dr. William', Lieut. 
Samuel*, Benjamin', Capt. SamueP, Rev. John') and Mary Charlton Holt= 
huysen. 

William Constable Moore', after completing his education, was employed 
for many years as civil engineer. He was engaged on the first surveys of the 
Hudson River Railroad and many others. In 1849 he entered the Bank of Com- 
merce (now First National Bank) of New York, where he remained twenty-three 
years. In 1872 he spent a few mouths in Europe, and on his return in 1873 set- 
tled inNyack, becoming President of the Nyack National Bank in 1878, in which 
capacity he served faithfully until he was stricken down by disease. He was also 
an active member of the Nyack Choral Society, and was conspicuous in good works 
in many directions. He was beloved by the entire community in which he lived, 
and his death will long be mourned by all who knew him. His remains were taken 
to New York and services were held in St. Mark's Church in that city.* 



647. Henry Casimir Moore' (Dr. Samuel W.', Dr. William^ Lieut. 
Samuel', Benjamin', Capt. SamueP, Rev. John'). 

Henry Casimir Moore' died at his home in Stamford, Conn. His early life 
was spent in New York City. Subsequently he lived for a time in England and 
Australia, where he became well known and highly respected. Returning to this 
country, he lived first in New York and then in Stamford, Conn. The funeral 
was held in St. Andrew's Church, Stamford. 



649. Rev. John Wells Moore' (Dr. Samuel W.», Dr. William\ Lieut. 
Samuel', Benjamin', Capt. Samuel^ Rev. John') and Frances H. Weber 

(Rev. William). 

Dr. John Wells Moore' was graduated at the head of his class at Columbia 
College in 1847 ; he took his A.M. in i860. His first charge was at North Salem 
and Summers, Westchester Co., where he preached five years. From there he 
went to Canton, St. Lawrence Co., where he remained five years, and was after- 
ward one year in New York. Twenty-four years ago last April (1861), he took 
charge of Christ Church in Red Hook. He brought to his new field an energy 
and perseverance which was an incentive to the little charge to put forth their 
best efforts. The good results of his labors are apparent in the strength and in- 
fluence of the flourishing church he leaves behind. Quiet, unassuming, but sin- 
cere in his bearing toward all, with simple tastes that found their highest gratifi- 
cation in the home that he loved and the endearments of a large family circle, he 
sought no higher place save that which he occupied in the church for which he 
so zealously labored. The loss of such a man can scarcely be estimated. As a cit- 
izen he was so unobtrusive, as a neighbor so kind, as a peacemaker always desir- 
ing right, as a Christian man God-fearing and humble, he filled these stations 
without regard to eye-service. Modest to an unusual degree, he turned aside the 
many marks of favor with which his friends would have honored him. 

At a meeting of the Trustees of Christ Church, Red Hook, N. Y., held May 15th, 1885, 
there were present Edward Martin, Richard Martin, John Armstrong Chanler, Edward B. Bost- 
wick and John H. Elseffer. 

The following minute was adopted : 

It having pleased Almighty God to remove to his heavenly rest our beloved rector, the 
Rev. John Wells Moore, we desire to place on record our deep and lasting sorrow for the loss, 
not only to ourselves but the whole community, of one who, during the twenty-four years that 
he has been among us, has always been our guide, counsellor and friend, a helper of the help- 
less and a comforter of those in aflfliction.

We wish also to bear witness to the purity of his life and the beauty of his character, 
which, by their example have been such a powerful influence among us for good. 

We also desire to express for his family, who have lost a devoted and affectionate hus- 
band, father and friend, our deep and sincere sympathy, with the prayer that our Heavenly 
Father will comfort them with a sense of His goodness, and in their great affliction give them 
peace. Edward Martin, Chairman.

At a meeting of the following clergy, the Rev. Drs. Clark, Gibson, Harrison, Olssen 
and Fairbairn, and the Revs. Messrs. Hopson, Piatt and Shober, who attended the burial of 
the Rev. John W. Moore, rector of Christ Church, Red Hook, Dutchess County, N. Y., on Fri- 
day afternoon. May I5tli, the Rev. Dr. Olssen and the Rev. Dr. Fairbairn were appointed to 
make and publish a minute, testifying to the affection and respect of the clergy present for 
their departed brother. 

The Rev. John W. Moore, M. A., was born in the city of New York, February 25th, 
1826. He graduated at Columbia College in 1847, ^i"! »' ^^ General Theological Seminary in 
1850. He was known and esteemed by his brethren of the clergy, especially for three things : 

The first was his learning. He graduated at Columbia College at the head of his class. 
He was offered the Professorship of Greek in Burlington College by the Right Rev. G. W. 
Doane, of New Jersey, on the recommendation of Professor Charles .-Vnthon. His love of learn- 
ing never waned. He was wedded to his books and lived much in his library to the very last. 
He was an accomplished theologian. The second trait for which he was esteemed was the 
purity of his character. His life was adorned by those virtures which have been painted so 
vividly in Herbert's " Country Parson." His neighbors can testify that for twenty-four j'ears 
he has always maintained a life void of offence toward God and toward man. Dignified, self- 
possessed and companionable, he always and without exception maintained the character of a 
Christian gentleman. 

He was also remarkable for his modesty. With his learning and breeding he might 
have claimed for himself a higher position in the Church. But he was content to labor in the 
sphere where Providence had called him with contentment and cheerfulness, finding his hap- 
piness in his work and in his family.

in 1861. 

There has seldom been a more popular statuette than that of the caricature 
dog with the title, "Who's Afraid?" Although they first made their appear- 
ance nearly ten years ago, the statuettes are still sold by image-venders, and the 
grotesque figure of the dog has been used on signs, business cards and in other 
forms. The name of the designer has never before been made public. It was the 
late Dr. R. H. Moore. Dr. Moore was a universal genius. He was a capable 
physician, so clever a mechanic that he could make clocks, an excellent painter 
and draughtsman, and he wished to add to his accomplishments that of sculpture. 
He buried two pet black-and-tan dogs and he attempted to make a portrait of one 
of them in clay. The result was " Who's Afraid ? " Of course it was a failure 
as a portrait, but it was such a capital caricature that his friends begged him for 
copies and he had a few cast. Somehow, the image-sellers got hold of one of them 
and since then thousands of the amusing figure have been sold, for which the gen- 
ial Doctor never received one cent of profit. He died a few years ago, beloved by 
a large circle of friends to whom he had endeared himself by his gentle and win- 
ning qualities.* 

Quite a mistake — its being connected with his black-and-tan dogs ; it was 
a caricature of some politician of the day. He left the mold in which he cast his 
clay model and was amused later on to see them sold about the street. Some fig- 
ures he made afterwards were very good, t

William Moore" died at his home at Garrison' s-on-the-Hudson. He was 
eighty-seven years old, and had been living for many years in the quiet retreat 
where he died. He was of the old and widely known Moore family of Newtown, 
L. I., where he was born. William Moore was a typical correct, stately old New 
Yorker, with a stiff pride and a distinguished honor. In partnership with Henry 
C. De Rham, he formed the old and almost forgotten banking firm of de Rham 
& Moore. Their business was largely in French securities, and the partners were 
brothers-in-law. They retired nearly twenty years ago. Mr. Moore's funeral was 
in St. Phillip's Church, Garrison's.* 

The Rev. Albert Zabriskie Gray pays the following tribute to his memory :t 

A gentleman and a scholar in every truest, highest sense of the term, 
belonging to one of our oldest and best American families, a man who had trav- 
eled much in early life, and was a deeply-read scientific student almost to the 
day of his death, for when all but completely deprived of the social enjoyment of 
his faculties, he was still and ever pouring over his books, and two books there 
were that never left his side or his hand — his Bible and his Prayer Book. Hum- 
ble and devout, courteous and accomplished, unselfish and unstained, a gentleman 
of the old school, in fine, a school that is rapidly passing away amid the sneering 
cynicisms of a utilitarian, if not a degenerate age^a school whose word was as 
good as its bond, whose chivalry was an aegis to womanhood, and whose knees 
never, failed in lowly homage to God. 

Never a Lord's day that he was not at his place in the temple ; never a day 
of atoning memory that he was not following devoutly its Litan3'. Indeed, in the 
latter days of his life, when enfeebled in memory, he would start up and off for 
the church, and was with diflBculty made to understand that there was no service 
there. And when in the church, it was beautiful to behold his venerable form, 
his white head ever reverently bent, his absorbed demeanor and his tottering steps, 
as almost to the last he insisted upon carrying out his warden's duty of bearing 
the offerings of the faithful to the altar of God. 

His liberality was as grand as it was unostentatious. Never will the writer 
forget the quiet way in which he once, at a time of parish emergency, made a 
princely gift of money, and deemed it as always more of a privilege than a duty. 

Many a faithful, toilful missionary in the far west blessed God for the 
bounty of this true steward, who never turned a deaf ear to any worthy persona 
appeal or to the pathetic tale of self-sacrificing zeal on some page of T^e Church- 
man. 

And never again can the writer forget how, when he was endeavoring, un- 
der great difficulties, to erect a little wayside chapel for the scattered sheep of his 
Highland cure, this venerable servant of God, then three-score years and ten, at 
once volunteered to survey and lay out the plot, and worked faithfully at it 
through much of a summer day. 

We might thus proceed, giving instance after instance of devout fidelity, 
or we might take up much more of your columns in relating more secular inci- 
dents of this pure and beautiful life, contemporaneous with our century and iden- 
tified with much of its best social, commercial and ecclesiastical history ; but we 
will leave that for a worthier hand to draw out, simply closing this most affection- 
ate tribute with the thought of how aptly such a life and such a death illustrate 
the solemn and eloquent prayer of our service book, " the testimony of a good 
conscience, in the communion of the Catholic Church, in the confidence of a cer-

tain faith, in the comfort of a reasonable, religious and holy hope, in favor with 
God, and in perfect charity with the world." 

Margaret Gouverneur^ was the daughter of Samuel Gouverneur' and his 
wife, Mary Phillipse. In 1795 one of the great commercial firms of New York 
was Gouverneur & Kemble.* Samuel Gouverneur was a member of this firm. He 
married the only child, a daughter of Capt. Frederick PhiUipse, a half-pay British 
ofl5cer, who lived in a mansion at the corner of Pine and William Streets. Capt. 
Phillipse was one of the most popular men of the town. He remarried after the 
war and died about 1813. He joined the St. George's Society in New York, in 
1788 and was Vice-President for a long time. The daughter was a favoured 
belle in her day, said to have been a most charming, as well as beautiful girl. 
Samuel Gouverneur and Mary Phillipse had a son who dropped the name Gouv- 
erneur and took that of his grandfather " Frederick Phillipse." 



626. Sarah Ann Moore" (Dr. William', Lieut. Samuel*, Benjamin', Capt. 
Samuel', Rev. John') and Dr. EdtsJard Hodges (Archelaus). 

The following tribute by her stepdaughter, Faustina Hasse Hodges, f is 
interesting : 

My second mother, MisS Sarah Ann Moore', was one of the most charming 
and agreeable women in the large and refined circle in which she moved. Spark- 
ling and fascinating in conversation, unostentatious and natural in manner, it 
was impossible for her not to attract all in the intellectual society which gathered 
around her brother, Nathaniel F. Moore, LL.D., who, at the time of her marriage, 
was Greek Professor and afterwards President of Columbia College, New York. 
Among the intellectual she had a right to move, being the daughter of a distin- 
guished physician, the niece of Bishop Moore, of New York, and first cousin of 
Clement C. Moore, LL,.D., Hebrew Professor of the General Theological Seminary, 
New York. She spoke French and Italian with fluency and ease, her preceptor 
in the latter language having been Signor Daponte, who had arranged the libretto 
of Don Giovanni for Mozart ; and she numbered literary men of England, Italy 
and France amongst her friends. 

During one of her visits abroad her bust was taken by Thorwaldsen ; and 
in New York she had received vocal lessons of Madame Malibran. Naturally fond 
of music and highly cultivated in opera and other branches of study, sacred music 
of a high order, and the school of our Cathedral composers were quite unknown 
to her. The services she had heard while in England had not reached her heart. 

Unaccustomed to the highest form of German music, she used to exclaim, 
as she heard my father's daily rendering of one or two of Sebastian Bach's fugues, 
" Oh, those horrid fugues ! " But gradually and surely her tone changed. She 
began to like and then to love them, and on no account would miss the Doctor's 
morning fugue. She was very clever at extemporary versification, but 
withal her character shone brightest in the daily round of her life. She was be- 
loved by all classes, rich and poor, the scholarly and the humble. She could hear 
of no case of sickness or sorrow without doing her utmost to relieve it. A per- 
fect sincerity governed speech and action, she was exactly the same, whether 
adorning a literary circle or reading the Bible at the bedside of one of her humble 
poor. She was generous in spirit, faithful and loving in every relation of life. 
Perhaps her most beautiful characteristic was the zeal and entirety with which 
she entered into my father's life. With her practical mind she blended a high 
and religious ideal. Her spirit was receptive to a great degree, and was capable 
of great exaltation through sacred music.

On account of the illness of her husband they went to England in 1859. 
They returned to New York and remained in retirement at " Woodlawn," in the 
Highlands on the Hudson, the residence of her brother William Moore, Esq., un- 
til her death in 1S61. Here at her brother's, my second mother lay " sick, even 
unto death." Devoted to my father's sacred music she asked him to play to her 
" Rock of Ages." He played the fine old Moravian tune in C minor, to which 
he always adapted the hymn. It was a supreme moment. Her spirit, borne per- 
haps on the wings of that music, soon after rose " to world's unknown." 

My father had closed the organ ; he never opened it again. He presented

was admitted to the bar. He became District Attorney in 1802; in 1815 he became 
Recorder, which office he held with short intermissions until 1837. " Of the emi- 
nent talents and profound judicial knowledge of the late Recorder little need be 
said ; they are both extensively known and universally acknowledged. The able 
manner with which he presided for so long a period in the Court of Sessions in 
New York, and the extraordinary qualities he displayed in the discharge of his 
onerous and important duties, are conclusive evidence of his great attainments 
and high moral worth." His memory has been perpetuated in Halleck's poem, 
"Our Recorder," which was the term by which he was affectionately known for 
years after his long incumbency of that office had ceased. He was a second in 
the duel between DeWitt Clinton and Swartwout, and afterward fought a duel 
with the latter himself, and was wounded in the leg.

About i8o6,t the first ladies of New York City began to discover that there 
was a great field open for their aid in relieving suffering and misery, and they 
commenced to band together in organizing societies. The first was the Orphan 
Asylum. It was founded in March, 1806. Mrs. McVickar was one of the trus- 
tees, and associated with her were Mrs. Bethune, Mrs. Fairlie, and other leading 
ladies. They appealed to the public, and started off with the bold declaration, 
that no institution so much merited the aid of the well-inclined as this — to feed 
and clothe the infant bereft of father and mother. They said: "We believe 
charity in this country consists more in finding employment for the needy, than 
in supporting them in idleness." 

" Pity, I own, to the distrest is due ; 

But when the afflicted may themselves relieve, 

The fault's their own if they will suffer on." 

The next year a society was started for the " Relief of Poor Widows," of 
which also Mrs. McVickar was a first manager. 

In the estimate of her character! it is not easy to say how much was due 
to natural temperament, how much to the early operation of religious principles.

Neither is it necessary, for in her both unquestionably concurred to form a char- 
acter so peculiarly blameless, that they who knew her best and longest can now 
recall to mind no one word or action, through the varied events of a long life and 
the trying duties of all its social relations, which did not seem marked by a sense, 
both of Christian duty and of native kindness. Her religion was truly that of the 
heart ; it entered into all the daily duties of life, and under its abiding influences 
was she formed to that unpretending truth of character, that single-mindedness of 
heart and intention, that unruffled sweetness of temper, that spirit of quiet yet 
active benevolence, and that constant reference of every religious question to re- 
ligious principles by which her life and conversation were so peculiarly dis- 
tinguished. 

John McVickar was a merchant of New York.* He was born in Ireland 
and came to America in 1786 at about the age of seventeen. He was among the 
founders of the St. Patrick Society in 1792. At that time Mr. McVickar was 
established and doing a leading business, under his own name, at 27 Queen Street 
(Pearl). He commenced in this city in Maiden L,ane, No. 39, before 1786. In 
1793 he was elected a director in the Bank of New York, and continued to be re- 
elected annually until 1810. In 1795 he was made a director of the Mutual Insur- 
ance Company. At the same time he was a director in the United Insurance 
Company, of which his friend Nicholas Low was president, and so was until 1809. 
At that time he lived in 228 Pearl Street, his old place, and kept his placeof busi- 
ness at 2 Burling Slip. He was Vice-President of the St. Patrick's Societyin 1797. 
In 1798 Nathan, his brother, got here, and the firm was John and Nathan Mc- 
Vickar. In 1801 the style was changed to John McVickar & Co. John moved 
from 228 Pearl Street to 231 Broadway, and Nathan went to housekeeping in the 
house John left. In all this time John had continued a director in the Bank of 
New York. In that year he was elected a vestryman of Trinity Church, and held 
it until he died in 1812. 

In 1805 John McVickar became one of the directors of the Western & 
Northern Coal Co. In 1809 John took into partnership his son James and a Mr. 
Stewart, and the firm was "John McVickar, Son & Stewart," at the old stand, 
No. 2 Burling Slip. But both sou, and John the father, lived at 231 Broadway, 
while the old Nathan lived at 20 Dey Street. In 1810 Mr. John McVickar moved 
to No. 6 Vesey Street. I think he gave up business in 181 1, to his brother 
Nathan, and the firm was McVickar & Stewart until 181 2. In that year John 
McVickar died. His widow removed from No. 6 Vesey Street back to the old 
No. 231 Broadway. The firm dissolved and Nathan resided at 24 White Street. 

Among the leading traits of the character of John McVickar may be noted 
that nice sense of commercial honor which gives to the merchant his highest dig- 
nity and leads to the noblest use of wealth. He was marked accordingly by gen- 
erous aid to deserving young merchants in trouble, so much so that it became a 
common speech on Change, in disastrous times, " Well, who is McVickar going 
to help to-day ? " In building churches and aiding the clergy he was always prom- 
inent. t On the " Dongan Domain," Staten Island, he both gave the land and 
built the church. Of this large Domain coming down from Dong, an the first 
Governor of the Province, one legal claim still remains to the heirs of McVickar, 
viz. , the original reservation to the Lord of the Manor, of ' ' all ponds, water 
courses and mines," such reservation being expressly named and provided for in 
all the early deeds. 

At his late seat at Bloomingdale he was one of the original founders of St. 
Michael's Church, and during the occurrence of the yellow fever in the city, he 
provided for the family of Rev. Dr. Hobart, his clergyman, a .safe country retreat. 

As a merchant he was marked by sound judgment and large views. In ad- 
dition to his regular business of importation he was a large ship owner, and one 
of the earliest in the direct trade with China from the port of New York. His 
favorite ship " Betsy," Captain Carberry, was familiarly known.

Though himself without classical education, he highly valued it for his 
sons, and prized and patronized the best schools. One, Archibald, enjoyed the 
farther advantage of an English University training, and all in turn had the 
benefit of a European visit for health or pleasure. 

In 1804, he revisited, for the second and last time, his native land, accom- 
panied by his son John, born in America, a circumstance which, in the days of 
alien laws in England, led to a singular controversy with government, the of- 
fice refusing to regard the father as alien, and McVickar insisting that as an 
American citizen he was an alien, and demanding that he should be included in all 
the penalties and restrictions that rested on such — a proof of patriotism, we may 
add, more unquestionable than many that now pass for such. 

In his visit to Ireland, so familiar was his name and reputation in commer- 
cial circles that it was jokingly propo.sed that the Lord Lieutenant .should con- 
fer on him the dignity of knighthood, as a benefactor to Ireland. 

Old John McVickar had a country .seat out at Bloomingdale, where he used 
to spend a great deal of his time in summer, after he retired from business, and 
while he lived at No. 6 Vesey Street. That was a large mansion. 

The old merchant, John, was one of the most sterling men in the city. His 
firm did a general commission business, receiving vessels and cargoes from all 
parts of the West Indies, as well as from Europe. In addition, his house dealt 
heavily in Irish goods. John McVickar & Co. were the heaviest importers of 
Irish linen into the New York market. Every vessel from Belfast brought them 
heavy invoices. They never sold less than a case of their linens. The store of 
old John, where he did business so many years, was on the right hand side of 
Burling Slip as you go from Pearl to Water. It was about in the rear of where a 
bank is now located. In these times we can form no idea of the vastness of the 
Irish linen trade sixty years ago. It was all old-fashioned made, spun and wove 
by hand in Ireland, and, of course, there was no machinery as now. It was the 
great article of trade. Here we had no such goods. The highest of our manu- 
factures then was old " tow cloth." We had no cotton or woolen goods made 
here. No sattinets, and the numerous fabrics of American manufacture were 
made in a thousand factories. So for this small village in the olden times, Irish 
linen was a great article of trade. 

All the buyers used to go to old John himself, or if not in, to the brother, 
Nathan. Clerks were not deemed the right persons to buy of. The buyer thought, 
of course, he could get better bargains of the principals, and their say, too, as to 
prices, was final, while with the clerks it was not. Old John was not above his 
business. Sometimes, he would take out his watch and look at it. "I am to 
meet the Board of Directors at the Bank, won't brother Nathan do?" If brother 
Nathan would not do, although such an answer was rare, then brother John 
would do the selling until the customer was satisfied, for he regarded good sales 
as one great element of success in the career of a leading merchant, and he was 
always the salesman when at home. He was rather tall, somewhat sharp-fea- 
tured, and looked like a foreigner. An early portrait of him, supposed to be by 
Copley, gives the impression of a fine and resolute will, yet gentle heart.

There is one name which I think was not mentioned this morning, and 
it ought to have been — the honored name of Dr. McVickar. He was one of the 
best preachers I heard in my early days, and his sermons, if not strictly what are 
called eloquent sermons, were most instructive, and were delivered from the pul- 
pit with a critical use of language and a command of his subject which made me 
look up to him and feel what a glorious thing it is to be a minister of Christ.* 

He was a graduate of Columbia College in 1805, after which he went to 
Europe. In 1807 he offered his name to Bishop Moore as a candidate for Holy 
Orders. He pursued his theological studies until 1811, when he took orders and 
became rector of St. James's Church, Hyde Park, N. Y. , where he remained un- 
til 1818. In 1812 he was ordained priest in Trinity Church, New York, by 
Bishop Hobart. In 181 7 he was elected Professor of Moral Philosophy, Rhetoric 
and Belles-Lettres. He delivered the first course of lectures on Political Economy, 
established in any college in America. He filled the professorial chair for over 
forty years. 

In 1820 he was elected by the convention a member of the Missionary Committee of the 
Diocese and was secretary ; 1S26, trustee and member of the Standing Committee of the General 
Theological Seminary; Vice-President of New York Bible and Common Prayer Book Society ; 
Vice-President of Tract Society and Chairman of its Committee for Selection ; 1840, Vice-Presi- 
dent of the City Mission Society and one of its founders, its presiding officer for many years ; 
trustee and Superintendent of Society for Promoting Religion and Learning ; 1828, trustee of 
Trinity School, oflBcial visitor, Chairman of School Committee ; President of New York Athe- 
naeum ; 1834-1868, member of Standing Committee of Diocese of New York, President; Trus- 
tee of St. Stephen's College, Annandale, from its foundation.! 

From 1844 till 1862 he was chaplain to the U. S. forces at Fort Columbus, 
Governor's Island, N. Y. In 1864 he retired from active duty in the college, 
and was honored with the title of emeritus professor. Columbia gave him the 
degree of A.M. in 1818 and S.T.D. in 1825. Besides numerous occasional essays 
and addresses, etc., he published "Narrative of the Eife of Dr. Samuel Bard" 
(1822), " First Lessons in Political Economy" (New York, 1825), "Memoir 
of the Rev. Edmund D. GrifiBn," appended to the "Remains" of the latter (1831), 
"Early Years of Bishop Hobart" (1834), " Devotions for the Family and the 
Closet from the Manual of a Country Clergyman" (1835), and "Professional 
Years of Bishop Hobart " (1836).

Trinity ChurchJ received a costly and beautifully wrought jeweled com- 
munion chalice, which was presented by Professor Thomas Egleston, of Colum- 
bia College, in memory of his wife, Augusta McVickar Egleston, who died on 
January 9, 1895. In addition to the great intrinsic value of the gift, a peculiarly 
intere.sting and touching sentiment attaches to it, for the chalice has been fash- 
ioned almost wholly out of the rich gems and their settings which Mrs. Egleston 
wore in life. Of the precious stones which adorn the cup, many are extremely 
rare, and in several instances represent the only known specimens of the kind in 
existence. All were selected by Prof. Egleston, an able mineralogist and expert 
in precious stones, in his travels in foreign lands. It was his custom, in the course 
of his travels, to procure such specimens and present them to his wife, and in

that way Mrs. Egleston possessed one of the most valuable collections of jewels 
in this country. 

This chalice, which has been pronounced by experts to be the most beau- 
tiful of its kind in America, if not in the world, was made in London under the 
e\'e of Prof. Egleston. It is nine inches in height, with a bowl four and 
three-eighths inches in diameter. The cup into which the chalice sets is embossed 
with crosses in the shape of fleur-de-lis, which are ornamented with three Russian 
amethysts and three carbuncles. It rests upon a stem of openwork three-quar- 
ters of an inch high, which sets upon a highly ornamented ribbed boss, in which 
are set three sapphires, two yellow diamonds and one Nevada garnet. The knob 
or boss into which thesejewels have been placed is one and five-eighths inches high, 
with openwork behind the jewels; it rests upon another piece of openwork, richly 
ornamented and one and one-half inches in height, which, in turn, sets directly 
upon the base. The upper part of the base is ornamented with six chrysoberyls 
and one green tourmaline. 

Below are six panels, three of which are designs, while three are floriated. 
All the designs are made of gold of the settings of the jewels as Mrs. Egleston 
wore them. In the front one of these panels is the cross. In the panel above the 
cross are three colored diamonds, exactly as they were set in one of Mrs. Egle- 
ston's rings. To the right and left above the cross are a ruby and a diamond, to 
represent the sun and moon. Below the arms of the crucifix are clusters of 
grapes made of rubies. At the foot of the cross are two diamonds and a sapphire. 
These are placed as they were worn in a finger ring, and below them is a circle of 
eight green garnets, with small diamonds between, as they were worn in a lace 
pin, which has been bent to suit the purpose. On one side of this panel, to the 
left, is a chrysoberyl, and on the other .side a Brazilian topaz. To the right, above 
the panel, is a Nevada garnet. In the upper part of the panel are two passion 
flowers in diamonds, the center being an emerald and the repouss6 work being the 
leaves of the passion flower. In the center is a large moonstone, surrounded by 
diamonds, as it was worn in a ring. Below are two passion flowers, each with 
an emerald in the center, and between them a peridot, which was a very favorite 
ring. To the right, at the foot of the panel, is a red tourmaline. Above the next 
panel of the Baptism of our Lord, is a chrysoberyl, and at the foot, a carbuncle. 
To the right, at the bottom, is a clirysoberyl. 

Back of the crucifix, and to the right of the panel last described, is a cross 
made of large stones. Above the panel is a star ruby. The arm of the cross, 
which was a lace pin, is made up, beginning on the left, of a red zircon, a stone 
whose dazzling brilliancy is little less than that of a diamond, a yellow sapphire 
and a muldovite. Above, forming the vertical arm of the cross, is a green sap- 
phire, and below a green zircon and an andalusite. Around the cross are four 
rubelites. At the foot of the cross, upon one side, is a large, green garnet, and 
upon the opposite side is a Nevada garnet. To the right at the bottom, is a Bra- 
zilian topaz. The next panel represents the Adoration. It has a chrysoberyl 
above and a very large peridot below, and on the right below is a pink tour- 
maline. The next panel has a Nevada garnet above, and in the center a large 
diamond surrounded by four passion flowers, the center of which are sapphires, 
and below a large, yellow sapphire. 

The foot of the chalice is ornamented with six moonstones, and between 
them are five carbuncles, and on each side of these are twelve green garnets, 
which were originally pendant from the lace pin at the foot of the crucifixion 
panel. At the foot of the crucifix there is the American gem chlorastolite. In 
all, there are i8o stones on the chalice. 

On the under side of the paten and underneath the foot of the chalice is 
this memorial inscription : 

" To THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD, AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF AUGUSTA 
McVlCKAR EgLE.STON, DAUGHTER OF EdWARD McViCKAR AND WIFE OF 

Thomas Egleston, who entered into life January 9, 1895. Trinity 
Church, New York. 

The body of Mrs. Egleston lies in the crypt under the altar of Trinity.

figure in New York life for sixty years. He was the bitter foe of slavery, a tire- 
less philanthropist, and a leader of the civil-service movement. He served as 
United States Minister to Austria in 1869. A fluent writer, he contributed hun- 
dreds of timely articles to the American press. 

In 1854 he organized the meetings at the Broadway Tabernacle that re- 
sulted in the State Convention at Saratoga on August 10, and in the dissolution 
of the Whig and the formation of the Republican party at Syracuse, 27th Sep-

William Jay" who is best known as Col. William, son of the Minister to Aus- 
tria, volunteered at the breaking out of the rebellion, and served throughout the 
great conflict, making an enviable record for gallantry and fidelity. But to him war 
was a matter of duty, and not of pleasure and profit. With the coming of peace, 
he resigned, entered the bar, and rose rapidly to a high rank in the profession. 
He was graduated from Columbia in 1859, and the Columbia Law School in 1867. 
He married Lucy Oelrichs, by whom he has one surviving daughter. To Col. 
Jay, New York owes largely the development of the old-time sport of coaching, he 
having been the President of the Coaching Club from 1876 to 1896. He is a mem-

Capt. Daniel Sackett Moore', after his trip to England under Admiral 
Howe, followed the sea and was for many years a successful shipmaster. He 
owned the paternal residence near Newtown village. The Philadelphia Post, Oc- 
tober 10, 1 77 1, speaks of a difference as great as that between crab-apples and 
Newtown pippins. The far-famed Newtown pippin, which, ' ' when perfectly ma- 
tured, is considered by some the finest apple in our country," was first cultivated 
in an orchard near Newtown village by one of the Moore family. Last winter 
(1851) they sold in England at five cents each, or $20 a barrel, wholesale.* Tra- 
dition says that the orchard belonged to D. S. Moore. 

Daniel Sackett Moore paid a visit to his relatives in Kent County, England, 
and brought home the coat of arms which now hangs on the walls of the ' ' Old 
House " at Newtown (Elmhurst), Long Island.

Capt. Thomas Billopp* (Farmar) was a participant in the events described 
in the following article:* 

There was unveiled at the seaport of Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, a monu- 
ment to the memory of the Americans who died there in 1806 in the cause of 
Venezuelan independence. The erection of such a monument was first decreed 
two years ago by the State of Miranda, inspired by its President, General Andrade 
(now President of the Republic.) The Federal Government, promptly following 
this lead, decreed that an imposing monument should be put up at Puerto Cabello, 
the place where the little band of Americans met their death. This is the memorial 
which has just been finished and unveiled with impressive public ceremonies. 
Addresses on the subject of the aid which Americans rendered to Venezuela at 
that time, and of the cruel fate which several of them suffered for it, were deliv- 
ered by Dr. Alberto Smith, Venezuelan Minister of Public Works, and W. W. 
Rus.sell, Secretary of the United States Legation. 

The monument commemorates an affair, now nearly a century old, the 
story of which, although it is familiar in Venezuela as an incident in the country's 
history, is unknown to or forgotten by most Americans. Francisco Miranda, the 
Venezuelan patriot, to whose aid the Americans came, had many friends in this 
country, where he had served as a young man with the Continental Army in the 
Revolutionary War. In the year 1805 he thought he saw a favorable opportunity 
to strike a blow for his native country's independence by creating a revolution 
against the Spanish rule. Coming to New York, where he was fairly well known, 
he soon succeeded in interesting in his project a man of no less importance than 
the Surveyor of the Port, Colonel WiUiam Smith, who was a son-in-law of John 
Adams. Colonel Smith introduced Miranda to Samuel G. Ogden, a prosperous 
merchant of the city, and the three set to work with energy to organize an expe- 
dition to go to Venezuela. 

Mr. Ogden 's part consisted chiefly in the placing at Miranda's disposal of 
a good-sized ship, the Leander, or Leandro as it was usually called after Miranda 
received it. Two hundred men were then secured to sail on the vessel, under 
Miranda's command. These men were engaged in the most secret manner, and 
the information vouchsafed to them was of the vaguest kind. They simply knew 
that they were to go wherever Miranda led them, and it was rumored that the ex- 
pedition was in some way destined to attack the Spanish rule in South America, 
but nothing definite was known. These two hundred men, who thus volunteered 
in the dark, were, for the most part, steady, brave, efficient fellows, whodeserved 
a happier fate than they received. 

The Leandro was well fitted out for her war-like purposes. Besides the 
eighteen cannon which she mounted along her sides, in the old-fashioned way, 
she carried fifteen hundred muskets, a few rifles, three hundred pairs of pistols, 
forty cannon of different sizes, two hundred swords, twenty tons of ammunition, 
gun-carriages and other articles of the same military nature. 

Sailing from New York on February 2, 1806, with Thomas Lewis for her 
captain, the Leandro proceeded to the little port of Jacmel, on the south coast of 
Hayti, where she was to make further preparations. While here. Captain Lewis 
was sent to make arrangements for securing another vessel, the Emperador, and 
a crew, to join the expedition. Meanwhile Miranda was occupied in instructing 
his men in their coming duties. He disclosed to them the object of the voyage, 
and told them they were to form the nucleus of his " Colombian Army," which 
was to overthrow Spanish despotism in South America. Certain of the men were 
selected by him to be officers of different ranks, and commissions were written 
out on the spot. Captain Lewis returned from his mission, reporting that he 
could not get the Emperador, and a search was made for something to take her 
place. Two small schooners, the Baco and the Abeja, were secured, and the lit- 
tle fleet .set sail after a delay at Hayti of six weeks.

154 GENEALOGY 

On the 27th of April the three vessels laj' off the Venezuelan coast, near 
the town of Ocumare, not far from Puerto Cabello. In the distance, two Spanish 
coast-guard ships were visible, and trouble was at once anticipated. At midnight, 
signals were noticed passing between the fort at Puerto Cabello and the guard- 
ships. Capt. Lewis beat to quarters and kept his men at their guns until day- 
light, but there was no immediate attack. In the morning, the position of Mi- 
randa's vessels found the Leandro six or eight miles from shore, the Abeja further 
in, and the Baco nearest of all, being only about a mile from the land. The story 
of what happened that day is thus told by a man named Sherman, one of the 
Americans in the expedition. 

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Powels, Donohue and two others, 
tempted by the beautiful aspect of the shore, took a boat and two sailors and went 
on shore to recruit themselves. In the cour.se of an hour the wind rose and we 
immediately saw the Spanish schooner bear down on the Baco. The men who 
■were on shore, on ob.serving this, hastened to return to the ship, but on entering 
the boat were capsized by the violence of the waves. The schooner, now within 
cannon shot of the Baco, opened fire on her; in this situation the only recourse left 
to the Baco was to cut her cable and escape from the Spaniard. The Leandro 
and the Abeja came to her assistance. The Leandro opened fire on the Spanish 
ships, which replied. The Abeja received orders from the Leandro to approach 
the Baco in order soon to board the enemy, the Leandro on the starboard and the 
schooners on the larboard side. In conformity with this order, the Abeja ap- 
proached the Baco, who.se captain, Gaguer, obeyed the orders of Huddle. The 
two schooners together hoisted sail to execute this order, when, to the surprise 
of all, the Leandro was seen to tack aud flee. 

At the beginning we believed that this was a feint to deceive the Span- 
iards, but on seeing the ship steadily deserting us we lost all hope. Abandoned, 
and with only six cannon to defend ourselves, except a howitzer, which we 
threw into the water, we tried to follow the Leandro. The enemy pursued us. 

* * * * But the Baco, with the Spaniard on the weather .shore, changed her 
course and escaped; the enemy then followed up the Abeja, which could only sur- 
render without resistance, after several broadsides from the Spaniards. 

* * * * 'Th.Q. Spanish brigantine then went in pursuit of the Baco, which also 
surrendered. 

There is nothing left to be said concerning the conduct of the Leandro. 
The public has judged it and condemned it as cowardly and treacherous. If the 
Leandro had done her duty, and boarded the enemy, according to the orders given 
to the Abeja and by her to the Baco, victory would have been ours. 

So far as can be learned, the discreditable action of the Leandro has never 
been satisfactorily explained. It may have been that Miranda, put to the choice 
between .sacrificing his comrades without a struggle aud exposing himself, aud 
consequently his enterprise to great peril, deliberately chose the former as the 
less important evil, yet it is hard to believe that the man who had fought bravely 
in both the American and French revolutions would have shown thisovercaptious 
spirit. It is known that Miranda and the Leandro' s skipper, Captain Lewis, were 
on exceedingly bad terms, clashing repeatedly over their authority on the ship, 
and the responsibility for the retreat from the fight may belong as much to Lewis 
as to his chief. 

The Spaniards, having captured the two little vessels, with sixty men, 
proceeded to treat their prisoners with their usual cruelty. They were all tried 
for piracy ; ten of them, who held commi.ssions as ofiicers from Miranda, were 
hanged at Puerto Cabello, and the rest were sentenced to the chain-gang. The 
men killed, in whose memory the monument has been raised, were Captain 
Thomas Billopp, Lieutenant Francis Farquharson, Lieutenant Charles Johnson, 
Lieutenant Miles L- Hall, Gustave A. Bergutt, John Ferris, James Gardner, 
Thomas Donohue, Paul T. George, and one other whose name is missing. The 
titles of the last si .x are not given, but they probably held positions similar to those 
of second lieutenants. 



GENEALOGY 135 



The sentence was executed on July 21, on the front of the castle. Before 
it began, Miranda's proclamation and one of his tri color flags were burned by the 
executioner. The hanging of the condemned men began at 6 o'clock in the 
morning, and was over shortly after noon. All the men died bravely, and most 
of them in silence. Bergutt turned as he was being led to the gallows and said : 
' ' Our cause will not be long in triumphing. This flag which is being burned to-day 
will float victoriously over this very site." The fulfilment of the promise came 
in the year 1821, when Bolivar won independence for the Colombian federation. 

After being hanged, the ten men were beheaded. As a warning against 
future attempts like theirs, six of the heads were sent to Caraccas, two to La 
Guayra and two set up on poles at Puerto Cabello. 

As for Miranda, after several subsequent attempts to create a republic in 
Venezuela, all of which were failures, he died in a Spanish prison at Cadiz. 

To return for a moment to the New York end of Miranda's expedition, it 
is not to be supposed that Colonel Smith and Mr. Ogden escaped being brought 
to trial for their connection with the affair. Although it is believed that several 
other persons helped to furnish the money with which it was organized, they were 
manifestly the leaders, and they were promptly arrested. The charge against 
them was that they had helped to furnish munitions of war and thus foster an 
attack upon the dominions of a ruler with whom the United States was friendly 
and at peace — "to wit, His Majesty the King of Spain." It was at the time of 
Jefferson's presidency, and when political feeling ran high between Democrats and 
Federalists, and the trial created great public interest. The President removed 
Colonel Smith from his office of Surveyor of the Port of New York. This was 
regarded then as an extremely harsh measure, and at the trial the " tyranny " of 
it was put forth strongly by the defence. Popular sympathy was strongly with 
Smith and Ogden — it was only twenty-three years after the close of the Revolu- 
tion, and oppressed colonies were a powerful appeal — and the jury brought in a 
verdict of acquittal. The proceeding is of special interest, in that it was the first 
filibustering trial in this country.* 

Among those sentenced to imprisonment for ten years at Omoa was Lieut. 
John Moore, whose identity has not been discovered. It has been suggested that 
he was John Moore, son of James Moore and Elizabeth Hallett, the nephew of Abi- 
gail Moore, wife of Capt. Billopp. 

The following is an incomplete list of those who were sentenced to ten 
years' imprisonment at Omoa : 

John Edsell, New York; Henry IngersoU, Mass.; John Hayes, N. Y.; 
Peter Naulty, Ireland ; Daniel M'Kay, Ireland ; John M. Elliott, New York ; 
John T. O. Sullivan, escaped, New York ; David Heckle, New York ; John 
Moore, Lieut., New York ; John H. Sherman, escaped. New York; Bennett B. 
Negus, Philadelphia ; Thomas Gill, New York ; Robert Saunders, New York ; 
Maj. Jeremiah Powell, released, New York. 

The first monument was erected at Maracay, then the capital of Miranda, 
and unveiled September, 1898. 

An eagle surmounts the obelisk, and under it is a radiant star signifying 
the immortal life of the dead. On the base is the following :

of Venezuela, the 21st day of July of 1806, in the City of Puerto Cabello. On the 
eastern and western bases are the coats of arms of Venezuela and the United 
States. On the southern base is "The Government of the State erected this 
monument in 1898." The monument is of granite 32 feet high with base 21 feet 
square. 

The second monument dedicated February 25, 1899, was erected at the ex- 
pense of the National Government of Venezuela, and cost about $50,000. It is 
an imposing and handsome structure in bronze, resting on a granite pedestal, and 
is sixty-five feet high. The front panel of the pedestal contains the coats of arms 
of the United States and Venezuela interwoven. On the rear there is a bronze 
crown of laurel, and on the east panel a bronze plate containing the names of the 
men in whose honor the monument was erected. The names on the tablet are 
Captains Thomas Donohue and Thomas Billopp, Lieutenants Gustavus A. Bergutt, 
Charles Johnson, Daniel Kemper, Miles L. Hall, Paul T. George, James Gard- 
ner and John Ferris, and Second Lieutenant Francis Farquharson. 

Capt. Thomas Billopp* (Farmar) was the son of Col. Christopher Billopp* 
(Farmar), born 1732, died 1827, at St. Johns, New Brunswick, and Willis. 

He was a gentleman of character and property, and a member of the House 
of Assembly. He commanded a corps of Loyalists, or of loyal militia, raised in 
the vicinity of New York City, and was actively employed in military duty. He 
was taken prisoner by the Whigs and confined in the jail at Burlington, New 
Jersey. Mr. Boudinot, the commissary of prisoners, in the warrant of commit- 
ment, directed that irons should be put on his hands and feet, that he should be 
chained to the floor of a close room, and that he should be fed on bread and water 
in retaliation for the cruel treatment of Leshier and Randal, two Whig ofiicers 
who had fallen into the hands of the royal troops. In 1782 Colonel Billopp was 
Superintendent of Police of Staten Island, where he lived and where he had an 
estate. His property, vi'hich was large, was confiscated under the Act of New 
York. At the old Billopp House*, which he erected. Lord Howe, as a commis- 
sioner of the mother-comitry, met Franklin, John Adams and Edward Rutledge, a 
Committee of Congress, in the hope of adjusting difiiculties, and of inducing the 
Colonies to return to their allegiance. During the war. Lord Howe, General 
Kuiphausen, Colonel Simcoe, and other ofiicers of rank in the royal service, were 
frequent guests of Colonel Billopp at this house. In 1783 he was one of the fifty- 
five petitioners for lands in Nova Scotia. He went to New Brunswick soon after, 
and for many years bore a prominent part in the administration of its affairs. He 
was a member of the House of Assembly and of the Council, and on the death of 
Governor Smytlie, in 1823, he claimed the Presidency of the Government, and is- 
sued his proclamation accordingly, but the Honorable Ward Chipman was a com- 
petitor for the station, and was sworn into office. His two sons settled in the city 
of New York, and were merchants. They were partners, and in business at the 
time of the yellow fever (1798), the one married, the other single. The unmar- 
ried brother (John) said to the other : " It is unnecessary that both should stay 
here. You have a family and your life is of more consequence than mine, go into 
the country until the sickness subsides." The married brother, the husband of 
Abigail Moore, retired from the city accordingly, while the other remained and 
was a victim of the fever. The survivor, whose name was Thomas, failed in bus- 
iness some time after, joined the expedition of the celebrated Miranda, and was 
appointed a captain ; he was taken prisoner by the Spaniards and executed, f

Capt. Thomas Billopp^ was the great-grandson of Christopher Billopp',* 
captain Royal Navy, born about 1650, died 1726, was the grandson of Christopher 
Billopp, of the town of Beverly, in Yorkshire, and the son of Christopher Billopp, 
of London. The Christopher, of London, is mentioned in Pepy's Diary as an 
employee of Sir Christopher Wren. 

Christopher Billopp' was, in 1671, made lieutenant in the Navy and ap- 
pointed to the " Portsmouth," thence to the " Bristol," thence to the command 
of the "Prudent Mary" (1673), on 3d February, 1674, was made captain of the 
"Rainbow." In 1674 " Major," later Sir Edmond Andros, was appointed Gov- 
ernor of New York. He raised a company of 100 men to take with him, the first 
soldiers ever raised in England for service in America. Andros was commissioned 
captain, Billopp a lieutenant. On page 221, Volume 3, of " The Documents Rela- 
ting to the Colonial History of New York," is to be found a copy of his commission, 
dated July 2, 1674, and signed James, Duke of York. Soon after Billopp arrived in 
New York he received a patent for 1 165 acres for land on the west end of Staten 
Island, which was followed shortly by another patent for 2000 acres contiguous to 
the first, in all 3165 acres, which " plantation " was known as " Bently Manor." 

In 1677 Andros appointed Billopp to command on the Delaware, headquar- 
ters at New Castle. In about a year he had difficulty with Andros, was recalled 
to New York, and " for talking against the Governor in a loud voice at the Cus- 
tom House" was requested to resign (167S). 

Billopp remained in America about a year and then was, on the 20th of July, 
1680, appointed to the command of the " Os.sory," a shij) of 90 guns, " and was 
promoted the May following to the ' Victory,' a ' first-rate,' and on the death of 
Sir J. Ashby in the following month, Capt. Billopp was removed to the ' London,' 
the largest ship at that time in the English Navy." By his will dated April 25, 
1724, he left a fine estate and perpetuated the Billopp name. He had no sons, his 
only children being two daughters, Mary and Anne. Anne married Thomas 
Farmar and had twelve children. In Capt. Billopp' s will " The Manor of Bently " 
was left to his daughter Mary during her life only, and at her death to her heirs 
male according to premogeniture, but should she die without such heirs, the 
property should be inherited by Christopher Farmar, the second son of his daugh- 
ter Anne, and to his heirs male ; failing such issue it was to descend in regular 
order to his brother in succession with like restrictions. They are all mentioned 
except the eldest, "Jasper," and the youngest, "John;" the latter was probably 
born after the will was drawn. Jasper was left the sum of ^20. Should there 
be no heir among the Farmars, the property was to go to his ' ' right " heirs, male, 
of the name of Billopp, " which name was to be assumed by such one of the Far- 
mars as might become his heir. The property, according to the terms of the will, 
went to the Farmars, Christopher being dead. Thomas, the third son, inherited 
and took the name of his maternal grandfather. 

The Farmar family is much older, as far as documentary evidence goes, 
and much more distinguished than the Billopp. Thomas Farmar and his wife 
Emmotte, the widow of Henry Wenman and the daughter of Mr. Hervey, of 
Herefordshire, are the first of the name of whom we now have any documentary 
evidence. The will of the said Thomas is dated September 9, 1485. 

Sir John Farmor was knighted in 1553, his sou Sir Ewingwas knighted in 
1586, his son Sir Hatton Furmor knighted in 1603. Sir Hatton's son, Sir George, 
created Bart, 1641, and his son created Baron Leomenster in 1692. In the year 
1 72 1 the then Baron Leomenster was created Earl of Pomfret and Pontepact. The 
title became extinct in 1867. Our line is from Robert Farmar, third son of Sir 
George and brother of Sir Hatton, who went to Ireland with Queen Elizabeth's

arm}' in which he was an officer of rank. For his services he received several large 
estates in the counties of Cork and Tipperary. He was killed in battle, leaving a 
son, Robert Fermour. This second Robert Farmour's second son, was Jaspar Far- 
mar, who married the eldest daughter of Anthony Gamble, of County Cork, and re- 
sided at Garrou- Kenny Fange in that county. Jasper's eldest sou was Major Jasper 
Farmar. When Oliver Cromwell carried his war into Ireland, among the Royalists 
opposed to him was the Farmar family, and few of the friends of the unfortunate 
King, Charles ist, suffered more in their estates than did Jasper Farmar and his 
sons. They were deprived of their lands and with what property they were able 
to carry with them were eveutually compelled to take refuge in England where 
they remained until after the restoration, when they received some compensation 
for their losses. That the family was not in a state of utter poverty may be de- 
duced from the following, taken from the Peftnsylvania Magazine of History ,Vo\\im& 
8, page 336, where we iind the account of the arrival of the family in Philadelphia. 
" The ' Bristol Merchant,' John Stephens commander, arrived here the loth of 9th 
month, 1(385." The passengers named are as follows, viz., "Jasper Farmar, Senior, 
his family; Mary Farmar, widdow, Edward Farmar, Edward Batsford, Sarah 
Farmar, John Farmar, Katharine Farmar, Jasper Farmar, Junior's family ; 
Thomas Farmar, Katharine Farmar, widdow ; Elizabeth Farmar, Katharine Far- 
mar, Junior." The family brought with them twenty servants; their names are re- 
corded in the same article, piEige337. Some of these servants were the progenitors 
of some of the most prominent people in Pennsylvania. Both the Jaspers died 
on the voyage, which accounts for Mary and Katharine both being represented as 
widows. The will of Ja.sper, Sr. , is dated " 7 mo. 25, 1685," and was proved 
" 2d of nth mo., 1685." Letters of administration to the estate of Jasper, Jr., 
were issued 19th iith mo., 1685. From the same fertile source of information I 
find the following (Pennsylvania Magazine of History, Volume 4, page 354): 
" Mary Farmar, widow of Joseph Farmar, * * * settled on a tract of five 
thousand acres of land purchased from William Penn, embracing all of Farmar's 
or Whitemarsh Township, Philadelphia County, south of Skippack Road." 

Thomas Farmar, son of Jasper and Katharine Farmar, who could have 
been but a mere boy when he arrived in Philadelphia, is frequentlj' mentioned in 
letters from Penn to his agents. In 1701 Penn appointed him Sheriff of Philadel- 
phia (idem. Volume 3, page 211). The following year he resigned that office 
to return to England, probably to marry Anne Billopp. Anyhow the eldest son, 
Jasper, was born 1707. 

A certain Thomas Farmar lies buried in the chapel of Ummerton Church 
in Oxford.shire, where the tombs of others of his family are also found. This 
Thomas died in 1580, and his executors erected a raised monument of white mar- 
ble, whereon lies his effigy in armor and the effigy of his wife, and around the 
verge is the following Eatin inscription : " Thomae Farmar, armigero, viro animi

39. Nathaniel Moore' (Capt. Samuel', Rev. Johu') and Joanna Prud= 

der^ (Rev.John^ m. , Rev. Peter', m. Joanua Boyse (Rev. Johu, m. 

Joanna ) ). 

If a plan for the scattering of their sons had been deliberately formed by 
the early settlers, no better one could have been found than that employed in the 
settlement of the land on Long Island by the English. A company was formed 
which secured a patent and bought a tract of laud. Each member was granted a 
lot upon which to build a house in addition to twenty or forty acres for tillage for 
his household wants. The remainder of the land was held in common for pastur- 
age and fuel. The right to the use of this common was proportioned to the orig- 
inal cash paid in. The only way for a son to obtain a lot was to inherit it or buy 
it from a neighbor. With the large families neither was possible. This arrange- 
ment checked the home growth, and when New Jersey lands were off ered for sale 
there was a rush from Long Island. The lands of New Jersey were desirable and 
cheap and the taxes were low, on which account the younger sons of Long Island 
settlers were attracted. Several of the grandsons of Rev. John Moore' settled in 
New Jersey, one, John Moore', as early as 1695. In 1708, at the age of twenty > 
Nathaniel Moore' came to Hopewell Township, Hunterdon County. As these 
young men of Long Island started out to found a new state, it will not be amiss to 
give a rapid history of the territory they were to develop. March 12, 1664, 
Charles II, King of Great Britain, by royal charter*, made a grant of territory in 
America to his brother James, Duke of York. June 23, 1664, James conveyedf 
to John, Lord Berkley, and Sir George Carteret the portion which then for the 
first time was named New Caeserea or New Jersey, and which corresponds to the 
state of that name. March 18, 1673 John, Lord Berkley, sold what afterward 
became West Jersey to the Quaker, John Fenwicke, trustee for the Quaker, Ed- 
ward Billinge and others. February 9, 1674, John Fenwicke and Edward Bil- 
linge sold to William Peun, Gawen Lawry, Nicholas Lucas, the half of New Jer- 
sey. July I, 1676, New Jersey was divided into East Jersey and West Jersey, 
Sir George Carteret getting East Jersey and William Penn, Gawen Lawry, Nich- 
olas Lucas and Edward Billinge, West Jensey. This deed settled the line between 
the two parts of New Jersey. West Jersey was divided into one hundred parts 
and distributed among the proprietors, the portion called "the 30,000 acres," 
above the Falls of the Delaware (Trenton), becoming the property of Thomas 
Sadler and Edward Billinge. October 20, 1685, Dr. Daniel Coxe, of London, 
bought of Thomas 'Sadler and Edward Billinge the 30,000-acre tract which was 
the original township of Hopewell. March 30, 1688, t Dr. Daniel Coxe, through 
his agent, Adlord Bowde, bought the land from the Indians. March 4, 1691, Dr. 
Coxe, who owned twenty-two shares, conveyed the territory and government to 
the West Jersey Society. In 1707, Daniel Leeds§ made a resurvey of the Hope- 
well tract for Col. Coxe. January 21, 1709-10, by act of Provincial Assembly, 
Burlington County included Maidenhead, Hopewell and Aniwell. March 15, 
17 1 3- 14, Hunterdon County was set off, making the Assunpink the southern 
boundary. " Old Hunterdon " included then the townships of Trenton, Ewing, 
Lawrence and Hopewell in Mercer County, and Morris, Sussex, Warren and Hun- 
terdon Counties. March 2, 1719-20, Hopewell Township was diminished on the 
south side by order of the Court.

March 2nd, 1719-20. Ordered by the Court that the bounds of Trenton be entered 
upon the record as followeth, ordered accordingly. 

Beginning at the landing on Delaware River in Nottingham, running up sd river to the 
mouth of Jacob's Creek, thence along said creek to a run called Jacob's run, thence up sd run 
to Thatcher's swamp, along a run that runs into Shabbakunk including Ralph Hart's planta- 
tion to the line that divides Hopewell from Maidenhead. Thence along sd line until it comes 
to the sd line of Mr. Trents and Thos Lamberts land, thence along sd line between Mr. Trents 
and Thomas Lamberts to Delaware River and so along sd river to the first mentioned station. 

On the i2th dayof July, 1697, Thomas Revell, agent of the West Jersey 
Society, sold to Johannes Lawrensou, of Maidenhead, 1050 acres of land.* On 
May 14, 1700, t Johannes Lawrenson conveyed his right to " Richbell Mott, of 
Hamstend bounds, upon the Island of Nassau in the Province of New York." 

Nathaniel Moore's first appearance on record is on November 11, 1708, 
when Mott sold out to John Cornwall, John Mott, Nathaniel Moore and Thomas 
Reed. The land actually amounted to thirteen hundred acres. The village of 
Pennington was built on this section of land, measuring about one mile and three- 
eighths from north to .south and from east to west, embracing about two square 
miles. In honor of Queen Anne it was called Queenstown. As early as 1747 
it began to be called Pennington. The names Cornwall, Mott, Moore and Reed 
still exist in this part of New Jersey. Nathaniel Moore's mother's name was 
Reed and it is surmised that Thomas ReedJ was related to Nathaniel Moore. As 
far as the records show, there was nothing to disturb the serenity of these early 
settlers of New Jersey. 

The next record discovered of Nathaniel Moore shows that in 17 15 he was 
Lieutenant in the third company of New Jersey troops, the roster being at Albany 
N. Y.§ 

In an old account book kept by John Johnson, of Maidenhead, New Jersey, 
in 1722, the name of Nathaniel Moore appears. A copy of this book is in the 
possession of the New Jersey Historical Society. 

As late as 1722, the list** of taxables shows 138 men subject to taxation in 
Hopewell, N. J., 16 of whom were single. There were 11 slaves, 785 cattle and 
hor.ses and 480 sheep. Nathaniel Moore was taxed for 16 cattle and horses, 25 
sheep, and 300 acres of land ; he was on the list of married men. 

In 1725 Nathaniel Moore was made a Justice, as is shown by the following, 
the original parchment being still in a good state of preservation in the Court 
House at Flemington, N. J.:

The next record is of " March ye gth, 1725-6, agreed upon by the majority 
of the town to hold their town-meetings insuing at the new meeting house by John 
Smiths." This John Smith was a merchant in the village, and owned the lands 
adjoining the church lot east and south. There is a tradition that before a church 
was built, there was stated preaching in the schoolhouse which stood on the ground 
that is now the south part of the Pennington graveyard, known from time im- 
memorial as the schoolhouse lot.* This lot was conveyed by John Smith, for ten 
pounds, to Nathaniel Moore, William Cornwell, John Everitt, Ralph Hunt, Jona- 
than Furman, Reuben Armitage, and Stephen Baldwin. 

In 1731 it appears that the title to the land was imperfect, and the follow- 
ing document ushered in the great land suit which engaged the attention of the 
people and the Courts for several years : 

Whereas the subscribers whose names are hereunto affixed having purchased several 
considerable Tracts of land of one Thomas Revell an Agent of ye honourable Societie of West 
Jersey (and other the residentors therein) being part of the tract known by ye name of ye 
Thirty Thousand above ye falls of Delaware Lying in ye Township of Hopewell, county of 
Hunterdon and Western Division of New Jersey and of him received such conveyance as by 
virtue of the Commission of Agency in the behalf of ye Honourable Society are Deemed and 
esteemed in law Effectual till a more fezable title can be made appear and whereas there is now 
claim laid to our severall Tracts aforesaid by Colonel Cox under a pretence of being Chief Pro- 
prieter thereof whose right to us has not been made appear, Therefore not thinking ourselves 
not ye least obligated to surrender up our respective lands to the use of said Cox till more 
legall proprietorship can be made apparently by him appear we think it requesit on such a claim 
to stand a Tryal as ye law Tantely shall Direct. 

In order to which proceeding ye sd Cox by his attory has Ejected several of us from our 
prmises obliging us to an Issue and we subscribers thinking it a hardship to carry on this Suit 
by oue prticular person wherein so many is concerned we draw this instrument obliging each of 
us the subscribers our heirs Executors and administrators to ye each other in ye penal sum of 
fif Ten pounds currt money of this province to be paid by the defauter if he stand not to and 
abide by evry of ye clauses abovesaid and well and truly perform this Covenant, That is to say 
Each of the Subscribers oblige themselves to each other in the penalty exprest equivalent to 
the land ye possess (he possesses) to emburse so much money towards 3'e carr3'ing of this suit 
as the whole complement shall be found sufficient to defray the contingent charge of Trying 
this Title. In Testimony whereof we have hereunto set the hand this twenty Second of Aprill 
annogre Dominy 1731.

Col. Coxe gained the suit, but many of the settlers remained on the land 
upon which the}' originally settled, having been compelled to pay for it the second 
time, as indicated by the following notice : 

Notice is hereby given, to all Persons settled on any Part of those two Tracts of Land 
commonly known by the Name of the 30,000 and 15,000 Acres, scituate in Hopewell and Mai- 
denhead in Hunterdon County, who have not purchased or leased of Daniel Coxe deceased, in 
his Life time, that they come and agree for the Lands whereof they are in Possession with 
Samuel Bustill of Burlington, or John Coxe of Trenton, two of the executors of the last Will of 
the said Daniel Coxe, who are empowered to sell the said Lands ; or that they quit their re- 
spective Possessions, or yield up the same to the Executors by the Tenth Day of November 
next, or they will be proceeded against according to Law.* 

In 1 73 1 the following subscription shows who were the prominent people 
in Hopewell : 

We hereunto subscribed inhabitants of Hopewell, in the county of Hunterdon, in the 
province of West Jersey, do promise and oblige ourselves, our executors and administrators, to 
pay or cause to be paid unto Nathaniel Moore, Philip Ringo and Thomas Reed, their 
heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, or to any one of them, the several sums of monej' 
that are to our names annexed, one-half at or before the first day of May next ensuing the date 
hereof, and the other half at or before the first day of May, in the year of our Lord 1731, the 
said money being in trust with the said Nathaniel Moore, Philip Ringo and Thomas Reed, to- 
ward the purchasing of a plantation to be a dwelling place at all times for such a gospel minister 
of the Presbyterian persuasion as shall be duly aud regularly called by the major part of the in- 
habitants of Hopewell, which compose the Presbyterian society in that town, but to be enjoyed 
by such a minister no longer than he continues to be such a lawful and regular minister to that 
society, and when the relation between such minister and that society shall cease, then the said 
plantation shall return to the said society, to be a dwelling place for the minister yt shall next 
be regularly called, to dwell on as aforesaid, and if the subscribers shall judge meet that if there 
be above one hundred acres purchased, that the said shall be set apart towards the founding of 
a Latin School upon the said plantation so purchased as above. 

Attached are the names of the subscribers : 

Timothy Titus, William Lawrence, Thomas Burrowes, Jr., John Branes, Cornelius An- 
derson, Benjamin Severance, Francis Vannoy, Jonathan Moore, Edmund Palmer, Alex- 
ander Scott, Edward Hunt, Thomas Hendrick, Robert Akers, Peter LaRue, John Fidler, Andrew 
Milbourn, Roger Woolverton, Benjamin Wilcocks, Johannes Hendrickson, Henry Oxley,

penter, Samuel Hunt, Nathaniel Moore, George Woolsey, Jonathan Wright, Caleb Carman, 
Elnathan Baldwin. 

Although Justices were appointed as early as 1725, and perhaps earlier, the 
earliest record of the proceedings of the Justices and Freeholders is given in the 
following article : 

" Records of the Proceedings of the Justices and Freeholders of the County 
of Hunterdon on Public affairs Relating to said County, Beginning Sept. 7, 
1 739-" Such is the inscription upon the outside cover of what is the earliest 
oflBcial record extant of the board of freeholders of this county. It is a leather- 
bound volume, and the inscription appears to have been written with a red-hot iron. 
It is possible that the records of their proceedings prior to 1739 were not preserved 
in any book, which supposition is rather strengthened by one of the first items 
entered in the above volume : 

" Order that there shall be a record Book provided for the said clerk of 
Ten Shillings Price at the expense of the county." The following is the account 
of the proceedings of the first session of the board, as found in the above-men- 
tioned volume. 

At a meeting of the Justices and Freeholders for the County of Hunterdon on the 
Seventh Day of September, 1739, at the Court-House in Trenton, Its agreed, ordered and di- 
rected as follows : first. That there be Twelve pounds allowed for the Chief Justice and the Ex- 
pense of the Special Commission for the Tryal of James Fitzgerald, now in Prison for Murder.

In the unfortunate division in the Presbj'terian Church, which culminated 
in 1741, it is surmised that Nathaniel Moore^ affiliated with the " New Side" party, 
for in the call to Rev. John Guild, August 15, 1739, his name does not appear, 
though he had previously been prominent in the church. The " New Side "party 
wished to hear Mr. James Davenport. Perhaps old associations had something 
to do with this desire, as Mr. Davenport was the son of Rev. John Davenport, of 
Stamford, and grandson of Rev. John Davenport, of the New Haven Colony. 
Rev. Peter Prudden was associated with Rev. John Davenport, and Nathaniel 
Moore's wife was the former's granddaughter and daughter of Rev. John Prudden, 
of Newark. 

In 1753 the name of Nathaniel Moore appears again in " A Duplicate for 
the Township of Hopewell. "J 

The following advertisement from an old newspaper is interesting. No 

evidence of .sale has been found :

Trenton, 400 acres : apply to William Clayton or William Pidgeon, Trenton.

Joanna Prudden'* was the daughter of Rev. John Prudden', and 

. Rev. John Prudden' was born at Milford, Conn., November 9, 1645, and 

died at Newark, N. J., December 11, 1725. In 1668 he was graduated at Harvard 
College ; afterward he had charge of the celebrated Roxbury Grammar School. 

On the 6th of March, 1670, the inhabitants of Jamaica, L. I., voted that 
" he (Mr. Prudden), receive forty pounds a yeare in Corent county paye of the 
townd " with the house and lot then in the possession of Mr. Walker and also 
"A convenient new pew be made for the minister to preach in."t 

On May 24, 1670, he succeeded Rev. Zechariah Walker, whose wife was 
Sarah Prudden, his sister, as pastor at Jamaica, L. I., and remained there for four 
years. 

On January 13, 1674, the town records relate that the town desired a pos- 
itive answer from Mr. Prudden whether he would remain with them as their min- 
ister and his answer was ' ' that he was under an engagement to another people 
soe that he could not stay with us any longer."! 

It appears that about 1674 there was some difficulty connected with his con- 
tract. The only record found is a note as follows : 

Court, Jamaica, December 11, 1674. 
Mr. Prudden's business ordered for his contracts.? 

After 1674 he preached for some time at Rye and Bedford, N. Y.=*=* 

There is a charge against him in the store account of William Mudge at 
Worcester Cove for a pint of wine and a loaf of bread, probably used at a commun- 
ion service, in 1675. ft 

He returned to Jamaica in 1676 and was again pastor from June 19, 1676, 
until 1692. He agreed " to continue in this towne, discharging the work of a 
minister in this towne for the terme of ten yeer, according to the rules of the gos- 
pel of this towne." They agreed to give him forty pounds a year and his fire- 
wood, nineteen men to bring a load " a pese yerely." There is evidence that 
while he more than fulfilled his part of the contract the inhabitants of the town 
failed iu theirs. 

Some of the inhabitants of Jamaica refused or neglected to pay the salary 
agreed upon, probably, as iu other places, objecting to the method of assess- 
ment. The following official documents will throw light upon the subject : 

MATHIAS NICHOLS TO THE REV. MR. PRUDDEN, OF JAMAICA.

swer of what you desired at Jamaica, touching liberty of Setting a day a part for yor Conegrega-

PETITION OF THE REVD MR PRUDDEN. 

To the Excellent Collonl Thomas Dongan Governour Comanderin Chief under his majesty over 
the province of New Yorke & its dependants 

The humble petition of John prudden quondam minister of Jemaica in Queens County upon 
Long Island Sheweth. 

That your humble petitioner having served the town of Jemaica in the work of the min- 
ister for the space & term of Ten years late past, hath suffered much wrong upon ye ac- 
count of a certain sallary engaged by ye inhabitants of ye said Town to be paid unto him 
yearly for his labour, yt a considerable part of his sallary is unjustly withheld from him through 
ye defect of severall Inhabitants denying to pay their proportion levied by yearly rates though 
no priviledg or advantage of my ministry hath been denyed to them. Wherefore your humble 
petitioner makes his application to your Excellency and Honourd Councill for Relief and Re- 
dress as you shall see meet ; not doubting of your Readines to doe what ever shall apear to be 
Rationall & just ; and cause it also to be done by others, but hopeing 3't your excellency to- 
gether with your Honored councill considering the circumstances of ye premisses will take the 
most effectuall care and order that what is due to 3-our petitioner by contract & agreement for 
ye time past may be honestly payed and performed to him (without trouble and constraint by 
course of Law which would be unpleasant and discomendable on all hands) your petitioner 
■willingly submits to your pleasure therein being persuaded that your Excellency will not allow 
y' after your petitioner hath (to his disadvantage) served a people ten years upon ye account 
of a firm contract he should be defrauded and deprived of a considerable part of his reward en- 
gaged, nor necessitated to desert his calling and the coUony to prevent ye like abuse which 
would unavoidably carrj' some reflexion upon those in whose power it is & remaines to prevent 
or redres such wrongs. 

Your humble petitioner only requesteth further that if a considerabl numbr of the con- 
gregational! profession & perswasion should be desirous y' he would continue to be their min- 
ister and mamtain him at their own cost & charge by a voluntary contribution your Excellency 
& the Honored Council would pleas to give approbation thereunto which we hope will neither 
be offensive nor prejudiciall to any person or persons under ye Liberty granted by our graciovis 
Soveraign : your so doing will give encouragement unto us y' are settled in this province & an 
invitation to others or at least remove evill surmizals against ye government which too many 
in ye Neighbouring Collony are apt to entertain to the prejudice of his Majesties intrest in this 
province. Thus craving ye heavens assistance & direction to guide your consultations to 
y« glory of God & comou good your petitioner Remaines at your service.

CERTIFICATE. 

We whose names are subscribed doe testifie that the inhabitants and ffreeholders of 
Jemaica at a publick meeting call to treat with Mr John Prudden to be their minister June 
ye 19th 1676 did (after he had declared his judgment and proposed his terms) by a town act 
freely and firmly promis and engage to give unto Mr prudden the accomodations which he 
now possesseth and a yearly sallary of fourty pounds to be paid to him or his order so long as 
he should continue in ye Town imployed in ye work of ye ministry and his fire-wood brought 
home free as specified in ye town registry. Furthermore we doe testifie that Mr John prudden 
hath continued in this towne discharging the work of a minister according to the way of 
ye churches in New England the ffull term of ten years and more since the Town caled him & 
covenanted with him for his labour in ye ministrj-.* 

Nehemiah Smith. 

John Carpenter. 

It has been said that Rev. John Prudden was the first regular pastor of the 
first regularly organized Presbyterian Church in America. Considerable discus- 
sion has resulted but the matter seems to be a question of terms. Rev. John 
Moore was pastor at Newtown, L. I., in 1652, and a similar discussion has arisen 
in reference to him. Rev. James M. MacDonald, D.D., for many years pastor at 
Princeton, N. J., and a trustee of the Seminary there, says : " The Church of 
Jamaica is the oldest Presbyterian Churcht established by the English in America. 
It had been in existence some eight or ten years before Francis Makemie, styled 
the father of American Presbyterianism, arrived in Maryland." 

ALso from the same atithority : " And for the confirmation of this Agree- 
ment the town did voluntarily engage themselves at a town meeting held the 3d

of June (1672), that they would not obstruct or hinder but rather further the 
coming into a 'church way,' according to the rules of the Gospel in this town by 
Mr. Prudden and such as will join him.* The coming into a 'church way,' ac- 
cording to the rules of the Gospel, is language that cannot be mistaken; it must re- 
fer to the organization of a church. It proves that up to 3d June, 1672, there had 
been no regularly constituted Church of Christ in this place." 

While undoubtedly there were many Presbyterians among the Congrega- 
tionalists of New England it is exceedingly difficult to decide the question. The 
Newark settlement was Congregational, and Rev. John Prudden was pastor there 
as late as 1698. Rev. John Brooke was appointed by the Society for the Propaga- 
tion of the Gospel in Foreign Parts one of its missionaries in America. In his 
first report, August 20, 1705, he says: " There are five Independent Ministers in 
and about the places I preach at and the greatest part of the people are followers 
of them." The places he " preached at " were Elizabeth Town and Perth Amboy. 
The five Independent Ministers were Messrs. Harriman and Melyen, of Elizabeth 
Town, John Prudden, of Newark, Samuel Shepard, of Woodbridge and the minis- 
ter of Piscataway.t 

For some unexplained reason, in 1686, Rev. John Prudden deeded his prop- 
erty to Grace, the widow of his elder brother, Samuel. Grace Judson was the 
daughter of Lieut. Joseph Judson, of Stratford, Ct., and his wife, Sarah, daughter 
of John Porter, of Weathersfield. 

In 1689 he was chosen, by Jamaica, J Deputy to the Colonial Assembly of 
New York. At a town meeting held on the loth day of June, 1689 : 

Mr. Prudden & Nath> Denton, Sr., was chosen to go to York to meete with the 
rest of the deputis of the respective townes for to consider and advise one with another of what 
shall be for the good welfare and services of the contry and to act with the rest of the deputies 
in anj'thing that may tend thereunto and also if they will see cause to make any application to 
our Sovereign King & Queen for anything that may tend to the good of the whole Collony to 
act with them. By order of the Town per me

Rev. John Prudden died in 1725, and was buried in the old burying ground 
at Newark. Over his remains was placed a slab inscribed : 

Here I^yes ye 

Body of ye Revd 

Mr John Prudden 
Minister of ye Gospell 
who departed this life 

DECBR IITH 1725, AGED 80 YRS. 

" Nor grace nor favour fill 
MY Reins, — L,OE room 

FOR YE THERE YET REMAINS" 

In 1748 his body was removed to the rear of the First Presbyterian 
Church. 

The original slab, having the above inscription, was placed in the walls of 
the First Presbyterian Church of Newark by Mr. William R. Ailing, one of the 
descendants of Rev. John Prudden, where it still remains. 

Joanna' was the granddaughter of /?er. Peter Prudden'* and his wife 
Joanna Boyse', He was born in Yorkshire, England, 1601, died at Milford, Ct., 
July 6, 1656. He preached in Yorkshire and Herefordshire and brought his congre- 
gation with him probably in the " Hector" or its consort the " Martin," landing at 
Boston June 26, 1637, with Rev. John Davenport, John Harvard, Samuel Eaton and 
other prominent Puritans. In March, 1638, he sailed from Boston and in April 
reached Quiunepiac, now New Haven, Conn., and assisted in laying the foundation 
of a Colony there. He preached his first sermon in the Colony at New Haven, 
iSth April, 1638, under a large spreading oak which stood near the present corner 
of George and College Streets, from the textf : "The voice of one crying in 
the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord and make His paths straight." 
In the summer of 1638 he preached at Weathersfield. In February, 1639, land 
for a new settlement was purchased from the Indians, and later Milford was 
founded. He was one of the " Seven Pillars of Wepauwang or Milford," and one 
of the Judges of the Colony, 1640, as shown below : 

The first general or town meeting of the planters was held November 20, 
1639. It was then determined that the power of electing officers and persons to 
divide the land into lots and take order for the timber and manage the interests 
of the plantation should be in the church only. It was also agreed that they 
should guide theuLselves in all their doings by the written word of God as they 
had light from it. 

WiUiam Fowler, Esq., Edmund Tapp, Esq., Zachariah Whitman, Deacon 
John Atwood and Richard Miles were then chosen for Judges in all civil affairs 
and to try all causes between man and man as a Court, to punish any offences and 
sin against the commandments therein, till a body of laws shall be established 
they are to observe and apply themselves to the rule of the written word of God. 

This Court was to sit once in six weeks and was authorized to call a gen- 
eral meeting or Court of the planters, to examine witnesses upon oath and to pun- 
ish all misdemeanors. These five men were invested by the planters with powers 
in the place of magistry for the public good according to the tenor of the writing 
and agreement to that purpose. 

About twelve months after, November 24, 1640, Mr. John Sherman was 
chosen one of the Judges in the room of Mr. Miles. The next year the Rev. Mr.

Prudden was elected one of them in the place of Mr. Atwood. The following May 
27, 1641, Mr. Prudden excused himself from serving any longer in the capacity 
of Magistrate and Mr. Atwood was re-elected. "*= 

It was not until April 8, 1640, that Mr. Prudden was ordained pastor of the 
Milford Church. We have his own words for it, in his own handwriting, in which 
the early Milford records were kept. 

I, Peter Prudden, was called to the ofBce of pastor of this church and ordained at 
New Haven, by Zachariah Whitman, William Fowler, Edmund Tapp, designed by ye church to 
that work, Zachariah Whitman being the moderator for that meeting in a day of solemn humil- 
iation upon ye third Wednesday in April, 1640, being, I remember, ye i8th day of ye month. f 

The following tribute is paid to his memory by Cotton Mather :| 

That greatest of peace-makers, the Son of God, has assured us, " Blessed are the peace- 
makers, for they shall be called the children of God." I am sure then, 'tis a blessed child of 
God whose name is now before us ; (Prudden shall we call him ? or. Prudent ?), who, besides 
his other excellent qualities, was noted for a singular faculty to sweeten, compose and qualify 
exasperated spirits and stop or heal all contentions. Whence it was that his town of Milford 
enjoyed peace with truth all his days, notwithstanding some dispositions to variance, which 
afterwards broke forth among them. 

God had marvellously blessed his ministry in England, unto many about Herefordshire 
and near Wales, from whence, when he came into New England, there came therefore many 
considerable persons with him. 

At their arrival in this country, they were so mindful of their business here, that they 
gathered churches before they had erected houses for the churches to meet in. There were then 
two famous churches gathered at New Haven; gathered in two days, one following upon the 
other, Mr. Davenport's and Mr. Prudden's; and this with one singular circumstance, that a 
mighty barn was the place, wherein the duties of that solemnity were attended. Our glorious 
Lord Jesus Christ himself being bom in a stable and laid in one of those moveable and four- 
squared little vessels wherein they brought meat unto the cattle, it was the more allowable that 
a church, which is the mystical body of that Lord, should thus be bom in a barn. And in this 
translation, I behold our Lord, " with his fan in his hand, purging his floor, and gathering her 
wheat into the garner." 

That holy man, Mr. Philip Henry, being reproached by his persecutors that his meeting- 
place had been a barn, pleasantly answered, " No new thing, to turn a thrashing-floor into a 
temple." So did our Christians at New Haven. 

The next year Mr. Prudden, with his church, removed unto Milford, where he lived 
many years, an example of piety, gravit)', and boiling zeal, against the growing evils of the 
times. 

And though he had a numerous family, yet such was his discretion, that without much 
distraction, he pro\nded comfortably for them, notwithstanding the difEcult circumstances 
wherewith an infant plantation was incumbered. 

He continued an able and faithful servant of the churches, until about the fifty-sixth 
year of his own age, and the fifty-sixth of the present age, when his death was felt by the col- 
ony as the fall of a pillar which made the whole fabrick to shake. 

Like that of Piccart, now let our Prudden lie under this 

EPITAPH. 

Dogmate non tantus fuit Auditoribus Idem : 

Exemplo in Vita ; jam quoque morte, praeit. § 

Gov. Winthrop said of him : " He was useful in his place, and of much es- 
teem in the Colony." Mr. Prudden, with other settlers, left large estates in Eng- 
land. His posterity received the interest money and rent of this property for many 
years. 

On the occasion of the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniver- 
sary of the founding of the town of Milford, Conn., on August 28th, 1889, 
there was dedicated a memorial bridge over the river at that point, in honor 
of its founders. One of the end stones on the south parapet is inscribed 



• A Statistical Account of the Township of Milford, hy Erastus Scranton, A.M., iu writing, and to be found 
in the Town Clerk's office, Milford, Ct. As authority it states " Facts gathered from authentic records and re- 
cited principally in words of those who related facts. "

to the first pastor of the church, Rev. Peter Prudden. On August 25th, the two- 
hundred and fiftieth anniversay of the founding of the First Church of Christ, of 
Milford, Ct., a mural tablet was unveiled to the memory of Rev. Peter Prudden. 

In the Memorial Hall at Hartford, Conn., among the members of the early 
clerical fathers of Connecticut are selected three for special honors in a memorial 
window — Hooker, Davenport and Prudden. 

On his memorial tombstone at Milford, Ct., is inscribed:

Joanna Boyse^ was the daughter of Rev. John Boyse and his wife Johane 

, of Halifax, Yorkshire, England. Rev. John Boyse' died, as indicated by his 

will, about 1620, and his wife, Johane, about 1631, as shown by her will. One of 
Joanna Boyse's sisters was the wife of Rev. John Raynor, pastor of the Church of 
Plymouth, Mass., from 1637 to 1655, and later of Dover, N. H. Itis not known when 
she married Rev. Peter Prudden, but various indications point to about 1638, and 
that the marriage took place in this country. Her father was a man of estate. In 
her will, dated 1681, November 8th, she mentions two sons and five daughters, all 
of the name Prudden. She was one of four coheiresses to property in Edgton and 
Welburn. After the death of her husband she married, September 20, 167 1 , Capt. 
Thomas Willett,* died August 4, 1674, who was the first Mayor of New York. 
Later she became the wife of Rev. John Bishop, for fifty years pastor of the church 
at Stamford, Conn.

Keziah Phillips" was the great-great-great-gianddaughterof /?eK. George 
Phillips', sometimes called "the founder of Congregationalism in America," 
was born in Rainham, Norfolk County, England, in 1593, and died at Watertown, 
Mass., July i, 1644. He was originally minister of the established church* in 
Boxted, Essex County, England, was a non-conformist ; he received his B.A. 
at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, in 1613, and his A.M. in 1617. He 
left England, April 12, 1630, and came to America in the Arbella with Gov. 
Winthrop, arriving at Salem, Mass., June 12, 1630, and was one of the founders 
of Bay Colony. He became the first pastor of the Watertown Church July, 1630. 
At one time he was a member of the Governor's Council. It is said that " he was 
the first to bring about the institution of a representative government." He was 
the ancestor of a distinguished body of men, notably, of John Phillips, first Mayor 
of Boston, of Lieutenant-Governor Phillips, of Massachusetts, of Samuel and 
John Phillips, founders of the Phillips Academies at Exeter and Andover, of 
Edward, the beuetactor of Harvard, of Wendell, the great American orator, of 
Phillips Brooks, late Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 

Cotton Mather in his Magnaliaf thus eulogizes him : 

THE LIFE OF MR GEORGE PHILIPS. 

Vita Ministri est Censura et Cynosura. 

Not only the common sign-posts of every town, but also some famous orders of knight- 
hood in the most famous nations of Europe, have entertained us with traditions of a certain 
champion, bv the name of St. GEORGE dignified and distinguished. Now, whilst many do 
•with Calvin, 'reckon this notable St. George, with his brother, St. Kit, among the larvae and 
fables of the romantic monks, others from the honourable mention of him in so many liturgies, 
do think there might be such a man ; but then he must be no other, neither better nor worse, in

the most probable opinion of Rainolds, than George the Arrian bishop of Alexandria, the an- 
tagonist and adversary of Athanasius ; of this memorable trooper, theArrians feigned miracles, 
and with certain disguises imposed the fame of him upon the orthodox. But the churches of 
New England being wholly unconcerned with any such a St. George, and wishing that they 
had been less concerned with many Quakers, whose chief apostles have been so many of them 
called Georges, but in effect so many dragons, there was one George who wasindeed among the 
first saints of New England ! and that e.xcellent man of our land was Mr. George Philips. 

He was born at Raymund,* in the county of Norfolk ; descended of honest parents, who 
were encouraged by his great proficiency at the grammar school to send him unto the uuiver- 
sitj', where his good invention, strong memory, and solid judgment, with the blessing of God 
upon all attained a degree of learning that may be called eminent. The diligent reading of the 
fathers, while he was yet himself among young men, was one of the things that gave a special 
ornament unto that skill in theology, whereto he attained ; but that which yet further fitted 
him to become a divine, was his being " made partaker of the divine nature," by the sanctifica- 
tiou of all his abilities for the service of God, in a true regeneration. 

Devoting himself to the work of the ministry, his employment befel him at Bosford, 
in Essex ; whereof he found much acceptance with good men ; as being a man " mighty in the 
scriptures." But his acquaintance with the writings and persons of some old non-conformists 
had instilled into him such principles about church-government, as were like to make him un- 
acceptable unto some who theu drove the world before them. Some of these principles he had 
intimated in his publick preaching, whereupon some of his unsatisfied hearers repaired unto 
old Mr. Rogers, of Dedham, with some intimations of their dissatisfaction. But Mr. Rogers, 
although he had not much studied the controversy, yet had so high a respect for Mr. Philips, 
that he said, he " believed Mr. Philips would preach nothing without some good evidence for 
it from the word of God, and therefore they should be willing to regard whatever Mr. Philips 
might, from that word, make evident unto them." And as for Mr. Philips, the more he was 
put upon the study and searching of the truth, in the matter controverted, the more he was 
confirmed in his own opinion of it. 

When the spirit of persecution did at length, with the extremest violence, urge a con- 
formity to ways and parts of divine worship, conscientiously scrupled by such persons as our 
Mr. Philips, he, with many more of his neighbors, entertained thoughts of transporting them- 
selves and their families into the deserts of America, to prosecute and propagate the glorious de- 
signs of the gospel, and spread the light of it in those " goings down of the sun," and being re- 
solved accordingly to accompany the excellent Mr. Wintbrop in that undertaking, he, with 
many other devout Christians, embarked for New England, where they arrived in the year 
1630, through the good hand of God upon them. Here, quickly after his landing, he lost the 
desire of his eyes, in the death of his desirable consort, who, though an only child, had cheer- 
fully left her parents, to serve the Lord Jesus Christ with her husband in a terrible wilderness. 
At Salem she died, entering into the everlasting peace, and was very solemnlj' interred near the 
Right Honorable the Lady Arabella, the sister of the Earl of Lincoln, who also took New 
England in her way to heaven. 

Mr. Philips, with several gentlemen and other Christians, having chosen a place upon 
Charles River for a town, which they called Water-Town, they resolved that they would com- 
bine into a church-fellowship there, as their first work, and build the house of God before they 
could build many houses for themselves; thus they " .sought, first, the kingdom of God ! " 
And, indeed, Mr. Philips being better acquainted with the true church discipline than most of 
the ministers that came with him into the country, their proceedings about the gathering and 
ordering of their church, were methodical enough, though not made in all things a pattern for 
all the rest. Upon a day set apart for solemn fasting and prayer, the very next month after 
they came ashore, they entered into this holy covenant. 

"July 30, 1630. 

"We whose names are hereto subscribed, having through God's mercy escaped out of 
pollutions of the world, and been taken into the .society of his people, with all thankfulness do 
hereby both with heart and hand acknowledge, that his gracious goodness and fatherl}' care 
towards us, and for further and more full declaration thereof, to the present and future ages, 
have undertaken (for the promoting of his glory and the church's good, and the honour of our 
blessed Jesus, in our more full and free subjecting of our selves and ours, under his gracious gov- 
ernment, in the practice of, and obedience unto all his holy ordinances and orders, which he hath 
pleased to prescribe and impose upon us), a long and hazardous voyage from east to west 
from Old England in Europe, to New-England in America ; that we may walk before him, and 
'serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness, all the days of our lives.' and being safely 
arrived here and thus far onwards peaceably preserved by his special providence, that we may 
bring forth our intentions into actions, and perfect our resolutions, in the beginnings of some 
just and meet executions ; we have separated the day above written from all other services, and 
dedicated it wholly to the Lord in divine employments, for a day of afiBicting our souls and 
humbling ourselves before the Lord, to seek him, and at his hands, a way to walk in, by fast- 
ing and prayer, that we might know what was good in his sight : and the Lord was intreated of 
us. 

"For in the end of that day, after the finishing of our publick duties, we do all, before 
we depart, solemnly and with all our hearts, personally, man by man for our selves and ours 



* Savage says St. Martins, Raynham.

(charging them before Christ and his elect angels, even them that are not here with us this day, 
or are yet unborn, that they keep the promise unblameably and faithfully unto the coming of 
our Lord Jesus) promise, and enter into a sure covenant with the Lord our God, and before 
Him with one another, by oath and serious protestation made, to renounce all idolatry and su- 
perstition, will-worship, all human trarlitions and inventions whatsoever, in the worship of 
God ; and forsaking all evil wa3-s, do give our selves wholly unto the Lord Jesus, to do him 
faithful service, observing and keejiing all his statutes, commands and ordinances, in all mat- 
ters concerning our reformation ; his worship, administrations, ministry, and government ; and 
in the carriage of ourselves among ourselves and one towards another, as he hath prescribed 
in his holy word. Further swearing to cleave unto that alone, and the true sense and mean- 
ing thereof to the utmost of our power, as unto the most clear light and infallible rule, and 
all-sufScient canon, in all things that concern us in this our waj-. In witness of all, we do ex- 
animo, and in the presence of God, hereto set our names or marks, in the day and year above 
written." 

About forty men, whereof the first was that excellent Knight Sir Richard Saltonstal, 
then subscribed this instrument, in order unto their coalescence into a church-estate, which I 
have the more particularly recited, because it was one of the first ecclesiastical transactions of 
this nature managed in the colony. But in after time, they that joined unto the church, sub- 
scribed a form of the covenant, somewhat altered, with a " confession of faith " annexed unto 
it. 

A church of believers being thus gathered at Watertown, this reverend man continued 
for divers years among them, faithfully discharging the duties of his ministr}' to the "flock, 
whereof he was made the overseer ; " and as a " faithful steward giving to every one their meat 
in due season." Herein he demonstrated himself to be a real divine ; but not inanv thing more 
than in his most iutimate acquaintance with the divine oracles of the Scripture ; being full}' of 
Jerom's perswasion, Ama Scientiam Scripturarum, et Vitia Camis non amabis. He had so 
thoroughly perused and pondered them, that he was able on the sudden to turn unto any text, 
without the help of Concordances ; and they were so much his delight, that as it has been by 
some of his family affirmed, " he read overthe whole Bible sixtimes every year : " nevertheless 
he did use to say, "That every time he read the Bible, he observed or collected something, 
■which he never did before." There was a famous prince of Transylvania, who found the time 
to read over the Bible no less than twenty-seven times. There was a famous King of Arragon, 
who read over the Bilile fourteen times, with Lj'ra's Connnentaries. A reli.gious person, who 
was a close prisoner in a dark dungeon, having a candle brought him, for the few minutes in 
the day when his poor meals were to be eaten, chose then to read a little of his Bible, and eat 
his necessary food when the caudle was gone. Yea, the Emperour Theodosius wrote out the 
New Testament with his own hand ; and Bonaventure did as much by the Old ; and some have, 
like Zuinglius and Beza, lodged vast paragraphs of it in the memories. Among such memora- 
ble students in the Scriptures, our Philips deserves to have some remembrance: who was fully of 
the opinion expressed bj- Luther, " If the letters of Princes are to be read three times over, 
surely then God's letters (as Gregory calls the Scriptures ) are to be read seven times thrice, yea 
seventy times seven, and, if it could be, a thousand times over ; " and he might say with Ridley, 
giving an account of how much of the Bible he had learnt by heart, "Though in time a great 
part of the study departed from me, yet the .sweet smell thereof, I trust, I shall carry with me 
to heaven." Indeed being well skilleil in the original tongues, he could see further into the 
Scriptures than most other men and thereby being "made wise unto salvation," he also be- 
came " a man of God, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 

Hence also he became an able disputant, and ready upon all occasions to maintain 
what he delivered from the word of God, for which cause his hearers counted him, "the ir- 
refragable Doctor," though he were so humble and modest, as to be very averse unto disputa- 
tion, until driven thereto by extream necessity. One of his hearers after some conference with 
him about infant-baptism, and several points of church-discipline, obtained a copy of the argu- 
ments in writing for his further satisfaction. This copy the man sends over to England, which 
an Anabaptist there published with a pretended confutation ; whereby the truth lost nothing, 
for Mr. Philips hereupon published a judicious treatise, entitled, " A Vindication of Infant-Bap- 
tism," whereto there is added another, "Of the Church." This book was honorably received 
and mentioned, by the eminent assembly of London ministers ; and a preface full of honour was 
thereto prefixed l)y the famous Mr. Thomas Shepard ; notwithstanding the difference between 
him and Mr. Philips, upon one or two points, whereabout those two learned neighbors managed 
a controversy with so much reason, and yet candor and kindness, that if all theological con- 
troversies had been so handled, we need not so much wish, Liberari ab Implacabilibus Theolo- 
gorum Odiis. 

About fourteen years continued he in his ministry at Watertown, in which time his 
ministry was blessed for the conversion of many unto God, and for the edification and confir- 
mation of many that were converted. He was, indeed, "a good man, and full of faith, and of 
the Holy Ghost : and for that cause he was not only in publick. but in private also, very full 
of holy discourse on all occasions ; especially on the Lord's day at noon, the time intervening 
between the two exercises, he would spend in conferring with such of his good people as re- 
sorted unto his house, at such a rate as marvellously ministered grace unto the hearers ; not 
wanting any time then, as it seems, for any further preparations than what he had still afore- 
hand made for the publick sermons of the afternoon. 

He laboured under many bodily infirmities : but was especially liable unto the cholick, 
the extremity of one fit whereof,' was the wind which carried him afore it into the haven of eter-

Tradition saj^s that the old house on the Watertown road, opposite the an- 
cient burial ground, was the residence of the Rev. George Phillips. This house 
has been somewhat modernized in its external appearance. According to the old 
style, the second story projected over the first, but that has been made into a mod- 
ern piazza. The interior retains many marks of its antiquity. By a record in 
"Prince's Annals," Mr. Phillips's first house was built in 1630, and this was 
probably his second house built on the parsonage lot. It stands back from the 
road, and still makes a very respectable appearance.* 

Rev. George Phillips's first wife, Elizabeth Sargeant, died shortly after his 
arrival in America. His second wife was probably the widow of Capt. Robert 
Weldon ; she died June 27, 1681. 

Keziah Phillips" was the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of CbristO" 
pher Phillips, whowashorn about 1560 and lived at St. Martin's, Raymund, Nor- 
folk County, England, neighbor of Sir Roger Townsend, Baronet, the ancestor of 
Elizabeth Townsend who was the third wife of Theophilus Phillips', " a gen-

In the proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Societytt the following in- 
teresting letters are found : 

Mr. Beesley presented, with the Box, its history as written by his father-in-law, Mr. 
Amos C. Moore, in 1849, as follows : 

This Tobacco BoxJt formerly belonged to one of the Hessians captured by General Wash- 
ington at Trenton on the memorable morning of the 26th, December, 1776. After the battle, 
some of the Hessians were allotted to different families in the town, and among the rest eight 
of them were placed with my father, Nathaniel Moore, for whose kind treatment when tliey 
left, one of them presented him with this Tobacco Box, stating it was all he had to give and ex- 
pressed regret that he had nothing of more value to offer. It was received by him and kept as 
a memento until his death in 1798, since which time a period of fifty one years it has been in the 
possession of the subscriber, his son. My father kept the ferry at Lamberton for many years, 
during and after the Revolution, and I recollect when General Washington crossed the river on 
his way to New York, in 1789, to be inaugurated, my father had his ferry boat tastefully deco- 
rated with an arch of evergreens at each end. I was then a boy about thirteen years of age and 
immediately after crossing, he with a number of gentlemen and officers among whom were 
Generals Mifl3in, Proctor, Patterson, Col. Wray, Col. Hooper and General Philemon Dickinson 
mounted on horses and proceeded to Trenton Bridge on the Assanpink, where the grand civic 
arch was erected and where the matrons and their daughters dressed in white were in readiness 
to receive him. I had followed on after the cavalcade and as soon as the General came up to the 
arch he stopped his horse and remained uncovered until the ode was sung, when he acknowl- 
edged the compliment briefly and passed onward, the matrons and misses strewing his way 
with flowers. The words of the ode are a matter of history. I still have a distinct recollection 
of them.

Natlianiel', Capt. Samuel", Rev. Johu') and Hannah "Price. 

The following sketch was written by Maj. John Moore Orr, of Leesburg, 
Loudoun Co., Va.: 

John Moore'' was rwy grandfather. He resided at No. 279 Race Street. I 
have but little personal knowledge of him prior to 1832. On the death of my 
mother, March 5, 1832, I again became one of his family and so continued un- 
til his death, February 12, 1834. Being then twelve years old, his character, 
bearing, and conduct made an indelible impression on my memory. 

John Moore was in partnership with Timothy Caldwell. In person he was 
of fine physique, of commanding presence, of strong frame and most active life, of 
untiring industry and of great accuracy in figures, and in fact, whatever he did he 
conscientiously did well and thoroughly. He was a model of genuine manhood. 
He was endowed with a broad, clear, strong mind, of sound practical judgment 
and having the courage of his carefully considered opinion as to what was right. 
He was often chosen to arbitrate disputes, and his awards were accepted or submit- 
ted to because of the confidence in his strict integrity and sound judgment and sa- 
gacity. 

If I am not mistaken, he was at one time a member of the City Councils. 
He had the confidence of all who knew him and he never betrayed it. His word 
was literally as good as his bond. 

He was bright and cheerful and his presence was a home happiness. The 
mutual bearing of himself and wife was beautiful. His help was always ready to be 
given to the needy and the deserving. He was just and charitable in thought aud 
word. He was a humane man, merciful to his beast. On one occasion he had to 
go out of town on a raw windy day, and finding that the top of his gig gathered 
the wind and made it hard for his horse, he put the top down and rode exposed to 
the cold. The consequence was a cold which developed into a throat affection 
which ended his life in 1834, in his 69th year. 

His wife survived him but a .short time, dying in 1835. They were buried 
beside each other in the lot fronting on Arch Street belonging to the Second Pres- 
byterian Church on which lot stood the Church "Session House." Their remains 
were afterward removed to Laurel Hill Cemetery or Woodlands. John Moore 
was at first an Epi.scopalian, but in later life he united with the Presbyterian de- 
nomination and was an active and consistent member and ruling elder in the Sec- 
ond Presbyterian Church. When the Rev. C. C. Cuyler, of New York State, was 
called to the pastorate of that congregation, he, by Mr. Moore's invitation, made 
his house his home, at 279 Race Street, until his family could come to Philadelphia 
and be settled in a residence. John Moore was a thorough Christian gentleman 
in every fiber of his being, an earnest, humble, cheerful Christian who loved his ' 
God with all his heart and mind and soul and strength and his neighbor as him- 
self. Love to God and man was the motive and guide of his life and conduct. 
The Rev. Dr. Ashbel Green, of Philadelphia, the Patriarch of the Presbyterians, 
was his warm and intimate friend. Dr. Green's words on the occasion of his death, 
in commemoration of his excellences, are a monument to his memory and an honor 
worth living or dying for. Mr. Moore's portrait* was painted by Ord or Conano 
(I forget which). It is life-like and shows that he was every inch a man and a 
good man. He died without shadow of spot or blemish on his name. His de- 
scendants may well be proud of having such an ancestor.

SamueP, Rev. John') and John "Barker Ellison (James, m. Margaret ). 

John Barker Ellisou, the founder of the widely known firm of John B. El- 
lison & Sons, was born in Philadelphia. Mr. ElHson received an excellent aca- 
demic education at the well-known Westtown School. His taste developing in the 
direction of mercantile pursuits, he became in early years a confidential clerk with 
Benjamin Warner, a prominent publisher and bookseller of this city. In 1823 he 
established himself in the woolen business at the S.E. corner of Second and Mar- 
ket Streets, thus inaugurating a mercantile house which eventually developed 
into one of the most extensive of the numerous commercial features of this city. 
In after years his two sons, William P. and Rodman B., were admitted into part- 
nership with him, and the firm became John B. Ellison & Sous. Under this name 
the business is still carried on. Members of the firm now comprise, in addition 
to those men, Henry Howard Ellison, William Rodman Ellison and John Barker 
Ellison, grandsons of the founder. The business of the house, established through 
the inflexible industry and unblemished integrity of John B. Elli.son, has attained 
extended proportions, with branch offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, St. 
Louis, Cincinnati, Baltimore, London and Montreal. The quarters at Nos. 22, 
24 and 26 South Sixth Street, extending through to Decatur Street, were erected by 
the firm in 1 88 1. It is the oldest, and there is no wholesale woolen importing 
house in America more extensive in its operations. In addition to the great mer- 
cantile enterprise which he founded, Mr. Ellison was identified with several other 
institutions of high standing, of a financial as well as of a public character. Em- 
phatic in the interest which he took in the affairs of government, as well as of 
party development, he ardently espoused the principles of the Republican party 
when it came into power in 1861, and was its earnest supporter and believer in 
the success of the Government in the War of the Rebellion. Mr. Ellison was a 
member of the Society of Friends, as were his ancestors for over a century. He 
was retiring in his disposition, and in an individual and quiet way, largely given 
to charitable deeds. In early life he took an active interest in the Philadelphia 
Society for the establishment and support of charity schools, incorporated in 1801. 
He was treasurer of the Society from January 5, 1841 to January 3, i860, and at 
the time of his death, had been Chairman of the Board of Managers from January 
II, i860, and a member since January 6, 1829.*

ident and President. He was largely responsible for the formation of the Camden

iu secret. Never undulj' depressed nor exalted, she maintained a calm, unwaver- 
ing confidence in tlie grace of Jesus Christ as sufficient for her, and was never dis- 
appointed. In spite of phj'sical suffering her life was happj- — not merely in the 
assurance of Divine love and the hope of glorj', but in countless acts of beneficence 
b}- which she was ever seeking to illustrate her gratitude towards God, and her 
sympath}' with all his children, especially with the humblest and poorest. Many 
knew her chieflj' through these charitable services, which were always rendered so 
gracefully as not to offend the most delicate sensibility, and with such evident en- 
joyment on the part of the giver as to make the receivers feel that in their accept- 
ance they were conferring a pleasure greater in value than the gifts. Those who 
were admitted to the nearer intercour.se of her home-life — a home shared by one of 
kindred spirit with herself, and whose loving care for her never wearied iu its 
watchfulness and devotion by night or day — while they found in it a singularly 
genial and refined hospitality, found also the source of all this kindness in the 
truly loving, sympathetic spirit which the gospel of Christ enjoins and the grace 
of Christ imparts. There could be no doubt as to His presence when the proofs 
of it were so v^arious and abundant. She dearly and intelligently loved the church 
of which she was a member. Her heart was in its worship and its welfare, and 
her hand ever ready for its help. So often absent from its public ordinances as 
she was compelled to be, her love grew the stronger, her interest in it deeper, and 
the more earnestlj' she longed for the communion of the saints, and for the truth, 
on which she fed as on the finest of the wheat. To no one out of her immediate 
family can her memory be more precious than to the pastor, who owes so much to 
her sympathy and regard, and to her ready response to every call he might make 
on her heart or hand. Evidently growing more prepared, during the latter part 
of her life, for her removal, her end was but a peaceful falling asleep, in the con- 
fident assurance that all was well, and that she would awake to be satisfied in be- 
holding the face of Him whom she had loved so sincerely and so long.* 

X. J. Maynard had every quality requisite to command success and to in- 
sure respect in the business of life. His judgment was accurate, clear and dis- 
criminating, never perverted by passion, and aided b)' a deliberate self-possession. 
He had a mind remarkably well balanced, and a firmness and decision which 
nothing could daunt. He was a wise counselor, and a liberal, enterprising man 
of business ; joined to these attributes he had a heart of almost womanly tender- 
ness, ever read)^ to anticipate and care for the feelings and wants of others. In 
him strength and gentleness were blended into the manly proportions of a pol- 
ished Christian gentleman. He was a man of consistent, humble piety. He .so 
lived as to show that practical religion was in perfect harmony with every attri- 
bute of a manly character, and when he came to die he could trustingly rely on the 
promises of his Maker, and calmly welcome death asa messenger of good. Though 
he lingered long in hourly expectation of his departure, he never murmured nor 
doubted, and finally he quietly breathed his last, leaving a name without spot or 
blemish, fragrant with the memory of good deeds and lovely qualities.*

Nathauiel\ Capt. Samuel', Rev. JohnV) and SteWart Wilson and Jona= 
than Hand^ (Jonathan', Shamgar^ Shamgar', John'). 

Miss Sarah Moore* was one of the thirteen young girls who represented the 
States and greeted General Washington as he passed under the triumphal arch on 
entering Trenton, April 21, 1789. The following contemporary accounts* are of 
interest : 

Trenton, April 21. — This day we were honored with the presence of his 
Excellency the President of the United States of America on his way to New 
York. A troop of horse, commanded by Capt. Carle, and a company of infantry, 
commanded by Capt. Halon, completely equipped, and in full uniform, with a 
large concourse of the gentlemen and inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, 
lined the Jersey bank of the Delaware, to hail the General's arrival. As .soon as 
he set foot on shore, he was welcomed with three huzzas, which made the shores 
re-echo the cheerful sounds. After being saluted by the horse and infantry, he 
was escorted to town, in the following order : A detachment of the hor.se — The 
Light Infantry — His Excellency, on horseback, attended by Charles Thompson, 
Esq., and Col. Humphreys — The troop of horse — The gentlemen of the town 
and neighbourhood on hor.seback.f 

When the procession arrived at the bridge south of the town, they were 
presented with a scene to which no description can do justice. 

As Trenton had been rendered twice memorable during the war, once by 
the capture of the Hessians, and again by the repulse of the whole British army, 
in their attempt to cross the bridge over the Assanpinck Creek, the evening be- 
fore the battle of Princeton — a plan was formed by a number of ladies, and carried 
into execution, solely under their direction, to testify to the General, by the cele- 
bration of those eventful actions, the grateful sense they retained of the safety and 
protection afforded by him to the daughters of New Jersey. For this purpose, a 
triumphal arch was raised on the bridge, about 20 feet wide, supported by 13 col- 
umns — the height of the arch to the center was equal to the width. Each column 
was entwined with wreaths of evergreen. The arch, which extended about twelve 
feet along the bridge, was covered with laurel, and decorated on the inside with 
laurel, running vines, and a variety of evergreens. On the front of the arch the 
following motto was inscribed in large gilt letters : " The Defender of the mothers 
will also protect the daughters." The upper and lower edges of this inscription 
were ornamented with wreaths of evergreen and artificial flowers of all kinds, made 
by the ladies for the occasion, beautifully interspersed. On the center of the 
arch, above the inscription, was a dome, or cupola, of artificial flowers and ever- 
greens, encircling the dates of the glorious events which the whole was designed 
to celebrate, inscribed in large gilt letters. The summit of the dome displayed a 
large sunflower, which, always pointing to the sun, was designed to express this 
sentiment, or motto — " To you alone" — as emblematic of the affections and hopes 
of the PEOPLE being directed to him, in the united suffrage of the millions of 
America. 

A numerous train of ladies, leading their daughters, were assembled at the 
arch, thus to thank their Defender and Protector. As the General passed under 
the arch, he was addressed in the following SONATA, composed by Major Rich- 
ard Howell, and set to music for the occasion, by a number of young ladies 
dressed in white, decked with wreaths and chaplets of flowers, and holding in 
their hands baskets filled with flowers : 

WELCOME, mighty Chief ! once more, 
Welcome to this grateful shore : 
Now no mercenary foe 
Aims again the fatal blow — ■ 
Aims at thee the fatal blow.

Virgins fair and Matrons grave, 
Those thy conquering arms did save, 
Build for thee triumphal bowers. 
Strew, ye fair, his way with flowers — 
Strew your Hero's way with flowers. 

As they sung these hues, they strewed the flowers before the General. 

When his Excellency came opposite the little female band, he honored the 
ladies by stopping until the Sonata was finished. The scene was truly grand — 
universal silence prevailed — nothing was to be heard but the sweet notes of the 
songsters — and the mingled sentiments which crowded into the mind in the mo- 
ments of solemn stillness during the song, bathed many cheeks with tears. The 
General most politely thanked the ladies for their attention, and the procession 
moved on to his lodgings. 

A copy of the song taken from the lips of Mrs. Sarah Moore Hand is a 
cherished relic of the old times. 

Jonathan Hand\ born November 15, 1780, died April 2, 1834, was Captain 
of the Independent Battalion in the War of 1812 ; he was appointed County 
Clerk of Cape May County, in 1831. He was the son of Jonathan Hand*, ist, who 
served in the Colonial Assembly in 1769, 1771 to 1776, the grandson of Shamgar 
Hand', who with his brother acquired large property interests in Cape May 
County in 1685, the great-grandson of Shamgar^ who removed from Southamp- 
ton, L. I., to Cape May, where he was as early as 1699, the great-great-grand- 
son of John Hand', who came from Stanstete, Kent County, England, who was 
in Southampton, L,. I., in 1644, and in 1648 helped to found Easthampton, and 
his wife, Alice, the sister of Josiah Stanborough.

islature and, declining reelection, was appointed Prosecutor of the Pleas for Mid- 
dlesex County on March 12, 1839, by Governor Pennington, and two years later 
Attorney-General of New Jersey, by the same Governor. During the three years 
in which he held this office, he acquitted him.self with great credit in the midst of 
unusually arduous and harassing circumstances. He was an active member of the 
First Presbyterian Church of New Brunswick, N. J., was superintendent of the 
Sabbath-school and ruling elder. He was unaffectedly religious, cordial, winning 
and popular with all classes. He was the eldest son of Elias Molleson, a mer-

Knox, ©.©., LL.7). 

Dr. James Hall Mason Knox, LLD., was born in New York. His father was 
Dr. John Knox, for more than forty years senior pastor of the Collegiate Reformed 



226 GENEALOGY 



Dutch Church, of New York, and his mother was the daughter of Dr. John M. 
Mason, the eminent Presbyterian divine. 

He was graduated from Columbia College at the age of 17, and after a 
year's interval entered the theological seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church 
at New Brunswick, N. J., and was at the completion of his course ordained to the 
gospel ministry. Among other calls then received he accepted one from German 
Valley Church, of Newton Presbytery. 

He remained at German Valley five years, when he removed to Easton, in 
response to a call from the Reformed Dutch Church of this city, Classis of New 
Brunswick. He remained here two years and was then succeeded by Dr. C. H. 
Edgar. His next church was the First Presbyterian, of Germantown, Pa. .Second 
Presbytery of Philadelphia, now Pre.sbytery of Philadelphia North. There he 
spent sixteen years. It was during his stay at Bristol the first Mrs. Knox died. 

Dr. Knox afterward went to Bristol, Pa., leaving that charge at the end of 
ten years to accept, in November, 1883, the presidency of the faculty of Lafayette 
College, succeeding Dr. Cattell, whose work he successfully continued. 

This office he filled until his resignation in 1890. He then spent two years 
in Europe and soon after took up his residence in Baltimore. He became a trus- 
tee of Lafayette College in 1863. 

He filled many ofiices of trust in the Presbyterian Church, being known as 
an able counselor. He was specially interested in the effort to care for aged 
ministers, and personally superintended the starting of the Home at Perth Amboy 
where so many ministers and their wives have been comfortably provided for. 
For thirty-seven years an active trustee of Lafayette College, he rarely missed a 
meeting. It was perhaps twenty years ago that he interested the philanthropist, 
Daniel B. Fayerweather, in the college, this being accomplished through the kind 
intervention of Dr. Hitchcock, the acting president of the Union Theological Sem- 
inary. The beautiful structure standing between Martien and Powell Halls bears 
his name as a slight tribute to Mr. Fayerweather's generosity. The correspond- 
ing building at the western end of the campus bears the name of Dr. Knox. 

His own alma mater, Columbia College, recognized his worth in conferring 
on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1861, and that of Doctor of Laws in 
1885. Dr. Knox left the college with more students than when he began his pres- 
idency, and in a much better financial state. 

When he resigned his position as the head of Lafayette College, the Board 
of Trustees placed on record their high appreciation of him " as a Christian gen- 
tleman and bore witness that he had labored diligently, faithfully and earnestly 
to promote the best interests of the institution, and sincerely invoked the bless- 
ings of Almighty God upon him, in whatever position lie may hereafter be 
placed." 

Dr. Knox is well remembered for his impressive presence, his tall and 
graceful form, and his genial address. He was a specially graceful writer.

cinnati Bar : 

IN MEMORY OF ROBERT A. JOHNSTON. 

At a meeting of the members of the Hamilton County Bar, held December 31st, 18S8, 
the following report and resolutions were adopted : 

The Cincinnati Bar meet to-day to mourn the decease of one of its most worthy and hon- 
ored members, Judge Robert .1. Johnston. In the full vigor of life his career of usefulness and 
honor has ceased. His presence among us, his kindly greetings, will be known no more forever. 
We, his brethren of the Bar, can bear testimony to his uniform courtesy, on and off the bench, his 
kind and considerate bearing to both old and young of the Bar, his unpretending manner and 
his adherence at all times, to what he considered tlie right. He has closed an honored life, 
justly meriting and cordially receiving the approbation of his fellow men. He graduated at 
Hanover College and at the Cincinnati Law School. He commenced the practice of law in 
Cincinnati in 1857. In 1S64 he formed a partnership in the practice of law with his brother, 
John Johnston, and soon thereafter he volunteered in the hundred days service. Upon leaving 
the army he returned to the practice of his profession with his brother. In 1876 he was elected 
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, which office he held two terms, or a period often years. 
The duties of his office as Judge he discharged with ability and integrity, to the satisfaction of 
the Bar and the community. By all he was regarded as a just, upright and impartial Judge. 
In 1887, at the close of his judicial term, he returned to the practice of law, with his brother, 
and was so engaged at the time of his death. Judge Johnston was happy in his married life. 
His wife was a woman possessed of those gifts and graces that make a husband's home attrac- 
tive and his family life a blessing and a joy — a woman of many acquirements and of rare men- 
tal gifts. She was a stay and support to her husband, in whose affairs she took an active inter- 
est, and she set for him the highest standard of honor and truth. To her wise counsel and lov- 
ing heart he ever turned for guidance, aid and support. The members of the Bar knew his worth. 
He was noble in his manhood. His associates respected and esteemed him — they loved him. 

Resolved, That the Bar, sorrowing at its own great loss, tenders to the family of Judge 
Johnston, its sympathy and condolence in their sad bereavement. 

Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings, expressing the feelings of the Bar for their 
deceased brother, be forwarded to his family and also spread upon the minutes of the Court of 
Common Pleas.

• Hale's First Presbyterian Church of Hopewell, N. J., 107. 



GENEALOGY 24.1 

September 30, 17S6. 
A number of members of the First Presbyterian Church, of the Township of Hopewell, 

met at the Meeting House in Pennington and proceeded to elect Trustees for sd church, at which 

time and place the following men were chosen, viz : 

John Welling, Jr., 
John Smith, Esq., 
John P. Hunt, 
Amos Moore, 
Stephen Burrowes, Jr., 
Nathaniel Hart, 
Hezekiah S. Woodruff. 

Oct. 4th the abovesd Trustees met at Mr. Henrj' Baker's, in sd Township, at which time 
and place they each took and subscribed the oaths directed by an Act of Legislature made and 
provided for that purpose, and immediately proceeded to make choice of a President, when 
John Welling, Jr., was unanimously chosen to that ofBce. And at the same time drew a certifi- 
cate to certify the name of the church, which is as follows, viz : 

We, the Subscribers, being duly elected agreeably to a Law in that case made and pro- 
vided, do assume the name of 

The Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church of the Township of Hopewell, in the 
county of Hunterdon, in the state of New Jersey. 

Witness our hands and seals, this 4th day of October, 1786 : 

John Welling, Jr., 
John Smith, Esq., 
Stephen Burrowes, Jr., 
Amos Moore, 
John P. Hunt, 
Nathaniel Hart, 
Hezekiah S. Woodruff, 

which certificate was recorded, October 5, A. D., 17S6, in the Registrj- of Deeds, &c., for the 
County of Hunterdon, page 135. 

Four hundred acres of land were surveyed for Amos Moore, July i, 1784, 
in Northampton County, Penua.''^ 

Aim Smith' was the daughter of Jonathan Smith^ and his wife, Hixon, 

the granddaughter of Andrew Smith', a surveyor by profession. The naming! of 
this township (Hopewell) probably originated from the naming of his early pur- 
chase of land here, in date, so far as the records show, anterior to any other pur- 
chase for occupation. On the 20th of May, 1688, Cornelius Empson, of Brandy- 
wine Creek, sold to Andrew Smith two hundred acres, which tract the deed says: 
He, the said Empson, "doth enfeoff and confirm unto the said Andrew Smith 
heretofore laid forth in the county of Burlington aforesaid, and also settled upon, 
and by him, the said Andrew Smith, called and to be called, Hopewell."

2076. Rebecca Moore' (Amos', Capt. John*, Nathaniel', Capt. Samuel', 
Rev. John") and Aaron Hart (Joseph, Joseph). 

Rebecca Moore' inherited the property which belonged to her grandfather, 
Capt. John Moore*. 

Aaron Hart was the son of Joseph, who died in 1794, and Frances, the 
daughter of Theophilus Phillips, the grandson of Joseph Hart, whose will is 

dated 1776, and . He and his brother John were the ancestors of the 

" White Harts."

GENEALOGY 245 

1083. Samuel Moore' (Capt. John', Nathaniel', Capt. Samuel', Rev. 
John") and Sarah Green' (Richard', Richard', William'). 

was left an orphan at the age of 
fourteen. In the stirring times 
of 1775 and 1776 he took an active 
part, and when the storm of war 
came he was a "Minute Man."* Samuel Moore", son of the Revolutionary soldier, 
has frequently told the compiler of this genealogy that his father had been called 
out seventeen times, when acting in the capacity of a "Minute Man." It is not 
known what the occasions were. Living as he did in the part of New Jersey 
swept by the ravages of war, these years must have been exciting. Upon the 
dissolution of the battalions of "Minute Men," Samuel Moore' joined Capt. John 
Mott's Company, First Regiment of Hunterdon County Militia. In 1781 he 
married his cousin, Sarah Green. One of the wedding presents on that occasion — • 
a pewter platter — was used and misused for many years in the family of Samuel 
Moore', the only son of this union. An old-fashioned iron platter with open- 
work raised border is also still in existence. This was the property of Sarah 
Green Moore. In 1782 they removed to the Forks of the Delaware.! He bought 
land on the south side of Northampton Street, and built a stone house, a part of 
which still stands. Easton as a residence could not have been very comfortable. 
The first house built in Easton was that of David Martin, in 1739 ; in 1752 there 
were only 11 families in the town, 40 persons; the Court House was finished in 
1766; in 1763, there were 11 houses; in 1773, 69 houses; in 1782, when Samuel 
Moore arrived, there were 85; as late as 1795 there were only 150 houses. The 
Penns still held land in Easton in 1800, as may be seen by an examination of the 
old deeds in the possession of the family. In 1783 a census showed that there 
were 104 cows, 25 horses, about 200 sheep and perhaps 200 hogs. J The pigs 
were allowed to run abroad and wallow in the mud in the pond, on what is now 
North Third Street. The friends at Trenton spoke of the family as those who 
had gone to "The New Country." The houses were mostly log and only one 
story high; there was therefore naturally great surprise manifested when Samuel 
Moore built his "New Mansion" on Northampton Street. In those early times 
carpets were unknown and the floors were covered with clean white sand in which 
various designs were worked with a stick. The first "rag carpet" was laid, in 
Easton, in this old house, and it was the occasion of much delight and surprise to 
the neighboring housewives who had never seen one. The samples of cut glass, 
silverware and mahogany furniture which are prized as relics by their descendants 
show that the style of living of our ancestors was not nearly so simple as we are 
apt to imagine. In an old account book the following prices are noted in 1797 : 
One clock case cost ^n 5s, another, £-j, another, ^5 5s. A bedstead was billed 
3t £5 5s ill 1795. a dining table at ^3, a chest of drawersat^5 15s, a bureau at 
^5 5s and a coffin at £6. Samuel Moore was evidently a man of means. Besides 
building the stone house, he bought the Easton Ferry, the most valuable piece of 
property in this section. The Easton Ferry§ was established by David Martin, 
in 1735. In 1755 it was owned by Nathaniel Vernon. In 1762 it was the property

of Daniel Broadhead and Lewis Gordon. In 1782 it was run by Jacob Able. It 
was worth 555 pounds. It was bought by Samuel Moore later.* It was run by 
his widow after his death, in 1799; the ferryman was Robert Youells. At some 
time it was the property of Moore & Green, as shown by charges in an old shop 
blotter. He also owned the Ferry Hotel. He also did an extensive business in 
building and cabinet-making and had many men on his pay-roll. Several pieces 
of cabinet work, made in his shop, are still in the family, among them a small 
walnut chest, on the back of the cover of an inner compartment of which is : " This 
box was made in the year 17S6," a small veneered box on the back of which is 
the name W. S. Kelley, who was a grandchild, an old-fashioned bureau, etc. 

Upon the opening up of the Genesee Countrj', Samuel Moore went there 
to see what the prospects were. Upon his return he announced that he had pur- 
chased land enough to make his whole family very wealthy. He walked up 
Northampton Street, and in a few minutes was stricken with apoplexy, and died 
at the southeast corner of Centre Square. This laud was said to be at Painted 
Post, N. Y., but after a thorough examination, no deed has been found. The 
following was discovered in the old clock — "Sam's Clock" — f which illustrates 
some of the land transactions of that day : 

To all people to whom these presents shall come Peter Faulkner of the borough of 
Easton in the count}' of Northampton and state of Pennsylvania, sendeth greeting. Know ye 
that for and in consideration of the sum of foar hundred and twenty six dollars and sixty seven 
cents of lawful money of the United States of America to him in hand paid by Samuel Moore 
of Easton aforesaid, at and before theensealingand delivery here of the receipt whereof is hereby 
acknowledged, hath granted, bargained, sold, aliened, enfeofted released and confirmed, and

GENEALOGY 247 

In an old book* in the possession of the compiler, the births of the diflferent 
children of Samuel Moore and Sarah Green are given; some of the names are 
written by Samuel Moore himself and others by Rebecca who had received the 
book as a present from her father; written in a childish hand is "Becca Moore 
her book presented to her by her Father 1795;" she was twelve years old at that 
time. Just above at the top of the page is written in another hand ' 'Samuel Moore 
his book february 26 1783." This inscription has faded; just below in different 
ink, by a diflterent hand, is "his Book february 17S3." On the first page of the 
first fly-leaf are the following records : "Phebe Moore was born July the 
7 1782." This was evidently written by the father and with the same ink he 
used to write his own name, which is rapidly losing its blackness; "Rebekah 
Moore was born September the 9 1783 ; Mary Moore was born iS November 
1784; Elizabeth Moore was born July 17th 1786; Ann Moore was born December 
15th 1787; Martha Moore was born 1789 October 3." Turning over the page we 
find the following additional records; " Samuel Moore was born September 28 1794; 
Sarah Moore was born 14 of May 1793; Sarah Green Moore was born November 
the 19 1797;" on the fly-leaf opposite the second title-page, which is "An Extract 
from the Works of Mr. Baxter, A2 'Sammual Moore and Sarah green was mar'd 
September the 27 17S1.' " Opposite the next page, which contains the title The 
Saints Everlasting Rest: A Treatise of the Blessed State of the Saints in Their 
Enjoyment of Go J in Glory. A3, there is written iu the same hand, which had 
written the record of the marriage, "Samuel Moore departed this life March the 
9 1799." The birth record is repeated in the back part of the book in a childish 
hand; several of the children seem to have practiced writing on the fly-leaves, but 
the book being the property of Becca or Rebekah in fee, her writing predominates. 
On the last pages, the birth of Samuel is given as 1793 instead of 1794, which is a 
mistake ; Here "Sara Moore was born June the 22 1797;" "Abigail Moore was 
Born november 19 1798:" "Nancy Moore was born December 15 17S7," the year 
being underscored, no doubt to correct an error given on a previous page; this 
last record is in a new hand, feminine. A comparison of the record of the 
marriage and death of Samuel Moore with Sarah Moore's signature to a receipt 
in Mary Porter's Receipt Book, July 27, 1818, shows that the record is in her 
handwriting. Samuel Moore's signature in this book, which shows that he 
wrote a good hand, much resembling his sou's, agrees with the signature on the 
title-page of A Shop Blotter, in the possession of the compiler. This blotter was 
presented to the grandson by Mr. Benjamin F. Riegel, who was the administrator 
of the Green estates. Further on, Rebeka is still practicing writing, with this 
difference, that she now writes: "Miss Becca Moore: Rebekah lunes her friend," etc. 

The entries in the blotter are made in various hands, but the prices are 
filled in by another hand and a reference made to "book number 3." Some 
of the charges are transferred from "book number one" into this. Doctor 
Ledlie's begins in 1787, May 10. Most of the entries indicate that the workman 
who entered them was German. John Wormau is entered "John Vurman;" Pete 
Voight is "Peat fote"; "vider Nunkester" for Widow Nungessor; "Roberd" for 
Robert; "Tomtites" for Tom Titus; "a vinder fraim" for a window frame; "vite 
led" for white lead; " puten in ten lites of glass" for putting in ten lights of 
glass; "vife" for wife; "bois" for boys. There are entries from 1794 to 1799.

Some of the men who worked in the shop were John lunes, John Titus, Israel 
Butler, David , John Striker. 

Samuel Moore* took an active part in the affairs of the town. His name 
appears on the return of an election of Town Clerk, July 6, 1793. He was inter- 
ested in educational matters and was prominent in the establishment of Easton 
Union Academy. March 8, 1794, at a meeting of the inhabitants of Easton held 
in the old Court House, a committee consisting of Rev. Charles Solomon 
Frederick, the Lutheran minister, Rev. Christian Ludwig Becker of the Reformed 
Church, Samuel Sitgreaves, Peter Shuyder, John Barnet, John Herster, John 
Arndt, Samuel Moore, and Robert Traill were appointed to consider a plan for 
building a schoolhouse. This action resulted in the birth of the Easton Union 
Academy. He was a member of the first Board of Trustees. Messers. Sitgreaves, 
Moore, Barnet, Shnyder, and Shouse were constituted a committee to estimate 
the cost of a proper building for the institution. March 25, Messrs. Sitgreaves, 
Moore, and Shouse were appointed to prepare and report a plan for the building 
which they had estimated would cost .^702 ids. The building was soon after- 
wards built, the first story finished, and later the Academy was established. 

In 1794 he was drafted to take part in the " Whiskey Insurrection," but 
was compelled to send a substitute on account of family matters which could not 
be neglected. 

In the Office of Register of Wills in the Court House at Easton is the 
following record: Samuel Moore, John Green,* Administrator, Sureties, Robert 
Traill, Benjamin Green: 600 pounds, March 23, 1799. There is no inventory and 
no settlement. Samuel Moore having died without a will, the real estate was 
divided by the Orphans Court in 181 6. The division is recorded on a large 
parchment 23x36 inches, a copy having been made for each heir. Several of these 
parchments are still in the family. He was buried in the old Lutheran Church- 
yard, corner of Fourth and Ferry Streets, Easton. The inscriptions on the box 
tomb were: 

Sacred to thb Memory of Samuel Moore Who Departed This Life 
March 9, 1799 in the 45TH Year of His Age. 

Here Are Likewise Deposited the Remains of Sarah Moore Who 
Departed This Life Jan. 15, 1829, in the 70TH Year of Her Age. 

The grandson, J. W. Moore, removed the bodies and box tomb to the 
Easton Cemetery. The tomb, owing to a misunderstanding, was broken up and 
used as a foundation for the present monument.

October 17, 1836, in Ohio) and died January 19, 1798. In the Revolution John' 
was a Private in the First Battalion of Salem, also in the State Troops. He 
became Captain in the Second Battalion, Salem, and afterward Second Major in the 
Second Battalion, Salem*. He was also in the Continental Army. Major John' 
and his wife, Elizabeth Casteau, had eleven children, among whom were Thomas', 
who married Ann Moore'^^, William^ who married her sister Phoebe Moore", 
Samuel", a soldier for ten years, who married another sister Rebecca Moore", 
David^ born September 10, 1784, married, October 11, 1806, Hannah Darrah 
(William, married Rebecca Thomson), of Bucks County, Pa., died 
October 13, 1816, was a jeweler on Second Street above Race, Philadelphia. 
David Kelley^ and his wife, Hannah Darrah, had, among other children, the late 
Hon. William Darrah Kelley, born April 12, 1814, in Philadelphia, married, August 
I, 1843, I. Henriette Ash Tennant (Col. Bryce); October 2, 1854, 2. Caroline 
Bartram Bonsall, and died in Washington, D. C, January 9, 1890. He was for 
many years a man of commanding influence in the House of Representatives. 

Capt. Israel Gregg, whose name is distinguished in our early steamboat 
history, died at his residence in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. His western 
steamlDoat career is coeval with that of the immortal Fulton, Livingston, Daniel 
French, and Samuel Smith. The following is a sketch of the history of the first 
boat commanded by Captain Gregg. It will be seen that his was the first steamer 
that ever arrived at Pittsburgh from New Orleans, and that he had no small share 
in the war proceedings of the Southern line, which closed with the battle of New 
Orleans — the Marathon of America. The following, accurate in all its details, is 
taken from a History of Western Steamers, published in 1818. 

The Enterprise, 45 tons, was built at Brownsville, on the Monongahela, by 
Daniel French, under his patent, and owned by a company at that place. She made 
two voyages to Louisville in the summer of 18 14, under the command of Capt. 
I. Gregg. On the ist of December she took in a cargo of ordnance stores at Pitts- 
burgh, and sailed for New Orleans, commanded by Capt. H. M. Shreve, and 
arrived at New Orleans on the 14th of the same month. She was then despatched 
up the river in search of two keel boats, laden with small arms, which had been 
delayed on the river. She got 12 miles above Natchez, where she met the keels, 
took their masters and cargoes on board and returned to New Orleans having 
been but six and a half daj's absent, in which time she run 264 miles. She was 
then for some time actively employed in transporting troops, &c. She made one 
voyage to the Gulf of Mexico as a cartel, and one voyage to the Rapids of Red 
River with troops, and nine voyages to Natchez. She set out for Pittsburgh on 
the 6th of May, and arrived at Shippingport on the 30th, 25 days out, being the 
first steamboat that ever arrived at that port from New Orle.ms. She then 
proceeded on to Pittsburgh, and the command was given to D. Worky, who lost 
her in Rock Harbor, at Shippingport. 

Captain Gregg afterwards commanded the Despatch, a small boat of 25 tons, 
built at Brownsville, which was wrecked near New Orleans in 18 19, and he 
continued as a commander in the "river service" for several years after. 

The Captain lived to behold a western wilderness, in its march onward and 
onward, until it became a mighty empire, peopled with millions — to see the 
enterprise in which he himself was the fii'st to embark, spread itself to the world's 
utmost commercial extent. 

Captain Gregg resided in Butler County for several years, respected and 
esteemed by all. He has at last been "gathered to his fathers," full of years and 
full of honors. His character was ever that of an upright man, and his benevo- 
lence proverbial. Of his long earthly pilgrimage — seventy and two years — if it 
may be proper for humanity to judge — a good account will be rendered at the last 
day.t

Cincinnati. 

The following abstracts from letters of Rebecca Moore Kelley, of Cincin- 
nati, Ohio, to her brother, Samuel Moore, Easton, Pennsylvania, may help to clear 
up some genealogical difBculties: 

September 28, 1847, Mr. Creveling arrived here from Easton, Pa. He in- 
formed us of the death of Mr. Miller. She regrets to announce the death of our 
brother-in-law, Israel Gregg, who brought the first steamboat from New Orleans 
to Pittsburg. Frederick Churchill has paid his friends a visit and returned to 
Mexico. Mary is well and sends her love to all. 

October 29, 1849. Writes about the estate of Sir John Moore. As many 
heirs here as east, our three sisters' children, Cousin Charles Moore, Cousin 
Sarah Hunt and myself. Cousin Sarah Hunt thinks our grandfather and two old 
uncles were the heirs who came to Long Island. Grandfather's name, John, died 
young. Has always recollected hearing that they came from England. 

April I, 1855. Says her lawyer has written to her about Samuel Kelley's 
Bounty land. Samuel K. kept a journal while in the service and made a will. 
Uncle Thomas Kelley visited him at Newport, R. I. ; spent nine days with him. 
She gave him the journal; it was not quite finished but is thought to be worth

publishing. Uncle Thomas kept it until a short time before William's death. He 
gave it to him to attenc'ito and he would, if he had lived. Not certain whether 
Samuel received anything after serving ten years; he had an honorable discharge. 
She wants proof of her marriage. Uncle John Green and Uncle Benjamin Green 
too old to ask, hence asks her brother. 

October 15, 1863. Birthday was gth of September which made her 80 
years old. Wood $10 a cord, coal 75 cents a bushel. Received very affectionate 
letter from William D. Kelley and sisters. He was here three years ago. Will 
call on you the next time he comes to Easton. I sent your letter to the friends 
at Hamilton. Mr. Skinner can give you the information. 

May 9, 1864. Four years ago a daughter of William Kelley from the 
South came on to visit her friends. She (Rebecca) went with her to Hamilton, 
Ohio. William D. Kelley happened to meet her at her house. John Kelley, our 
nearest relative in this city, has been very successful in business. 

May 29, 1864. John Kelley is the son of William and Phoebe Kelley. 
Have not heard from Thomas and sister Ann's family since before the war; there 
were but two living, Sarah and Samuel. John was a fine man, studied law, was 
admitted to Supreme Court, died of consumption in New Orleans, and left a wife 
and two children; married a descendant of the Penn family. Charles, Lindsay 
and Melvina Moore are all that are left. Charles is the farmer, L,indsay is in the 
milling business. George Hunt's son-in-law, Mr. Hooker, called to see us last 
week. Their children are all living except one daughter. Several of their sons 
have been killed and wounded in the army. I wish you could see a daughter of 
William Kelley from Jackson, Miss. She is a lovely girl. She spent seven 
weeks in a cave in Vicksburg, with an Episcopal minister's family; had mule 
steak served up for dinner as a rarity. The seat of war was on their plantation. 
She is invited to spend some time with W. D. Kelley and sisters. Sister Ann 
thought a great deal of her father as we all did. 

June 21, 1S65. Sister Phoebe was very intimate with the Dennisons. 

January 7, 1S67. Speaks of second epidemic of cholera. Sorry to hear of 
death of cousin Lydia Green. Mr. Levy is a Presbyterian Missionary. Haven't 
heard from Philadelphia friends for some time. 

February 7, 1867. Speaks of epidemic of cholera: many hundreds died. 

June 10, 1867. William D. Kelley made us a short visit on his way South; 
spoke in highest terms of you; his sister Mrs. Feinour had written; also William 
D. Kelley. 

June 25, 1867. John Kelley has removed a short distance in the country. 
Saw in paper the marriage of Jane Skinner's daughter. Had a letter from Elizabeth 
Feinour' s daughter last week. 

November 6, 1867. William D. Kelley paid her two visits in the summer. 

January 15, 1868. Written by another. Speaks of Mrs. Kelley's poor 
health. 

June 15, 1871. Letter from Rev. Mr. Levy, announcing the death of Mrs. 
Rebecca Kelley. 

The following letter from a boy — the son of Rebecca Kelley — contains several 
items of interest: 

Philadelphia, July 22, 1832. 
Dear Uncle : 

It now becomes my painful duty to announce to j'ou the death of our dear relation, 
Samuel Kelley. He died on Tuesday morning, the loth instant, at seven o'clock precisely, 
after an illness of ten days. His sickness was a severe case of bilious remitting fever. In 
Samuel we have lost a most valuable friend and relation. In him the community has lost a 
model worthy of being followed by any young man. He certainly was industrious, steady and 
strictly honest, and I do not believe he has left an enemy in the world he has departed from — 
most certain all who knew him were his friends. 

His sun that rose in innocence 
Rolled unclouded and set in Peace.

In consequence of Samuel's death, Aunt has been quite sick, but is now getting better. 
The rest of the family is well. Grandmother is remarkably healthy. Uncle Thomas is still at 
Miltonvile keeping store, and is doing very well. Mother is at present at Charles Moore's and 
appears well pleased with her visits and the appearance of the country — is well and sends her 
love to all her relations and friends. She spends most of her time at C. Moore's and Uncle 
Gregg's. Mr. Moore regretted very much his not seeing you when he was here. His time was 
much taken up and very short. He left his respects for you and hopes to see you at some future 
time. He insisted upon mother's going back with him, finding we wanted to make a change. 
Mother at last consented to go, providing she did not like the country, to comeback in the fall; 
and if the contrary, to stay, and Hannah and myself would go in the fall. She appears to be so 
well satisfied that I think she will stay, although she has not given me a decisive answer yet. 
As soon as I receive the answer I will then be off on the first boat, which will be very soon. 
Aunt Sarah is getting much better of the rheumatism and is able to sit up a little. Aunt Betsy 
has a severe attack of the fever and ague. Hannah appears to be quite well, although not very 
strong. All the rest are well and join in love to you. As for myself, I am as well and ugly as 
ever. Give my respects to all relations and friends. 

Remain your afifectionate nephew, 
Mr. Samdbl Moore. W. S. Kelley. 

P. S. It is thought the cholera will pass Philadelphia as we have had no cases yet — 
several cases reported were only our native cholera morbus. The people were so dissatisfied 
about the cases that the Board of Health reported them cholera for the sake of satisfying the 
people. You may rest assured that there has not been a single case of the Asiatic cholera in 
Philadelphia yet. Yours, etc.,

2114. Mary Moore'"' (Samuef, Capt. John', Nathaniel', Capt. Samuel', 
Rev. John') and Dr. Edmund "Porter' (Edmund', William\ '). 

Dr. Edmund Porter* was born in Haddam, Connecticut, June 18, 1791, and 
came to Pennsylvania in 181 5. 

His father died in 1802, January 9th, and his mother, March 20th, of the 
same year, of smallpox. Doubly orphaned at the age of 11, his heart in after- 
life felt the deepest sympathy for those who were subject to the same fate. In 
speaking of the death of his parents, he says : " Oh ! the days of separation of 
parents and child ! Can I ever forget the fatal gth of January, 1802, when my 
father breathed his last ? The black cofSn, the emblems of sorrow, the mourn- 
ers, the bier, and all the paraphernalia of grief ! No ! Then why should I forget 
the 20th of March of the same year when, we were all laboring with the small- 
pox, my mother died. I now beheld the victim of death and long-continued dis- 
ease breathing her last. Children's feelings are indescribable ; youth is a mirror 
in which their feelings are visible to all ; here can be seen the instincts of nature ; 
here we see the last pang that severs the ties of blood and affection ; the sword 
that cuts the cord and breaks the bowl of human happiness." 

Jonathan Smith, of Haddam, Connecticut, he speaks of as his " Old Guar- 
dian." His eccentricities, of which many stories are told, may be easily accounted 
for when we remember that he grew up without the guiding and restraining 
hand of loving parents. His whole life seemed to be penetrated by a vein of sad- 
ness arising from his early bereavement. 

Between the years 1791 and 18 15 he had had his preliminary education, 
had studied medicine at home and in New York, and had been to the West Indies 
and South America. IniSishe returned to the United States, visited Boston, 
New Haven, Salem and Springfield to see his frieuds, also Hartford and Haddam, 
New York, Newton, N. J., Easton, Pa., and then Allentown, where he accepted a

position as teacher for nine months at $100 a month. Here he was evidently in 
straightened circumstances, for on his return to Salem from the West Indies he 
had bills of exchange for $2,000 on Orn & Co. protested and lost all. It is prob- 
able he took the method of teaching as a quick way to give him immediate assist- 
ance. He then filled the vacancy left by Dr. Patton, of Hummelstown, Dauphin 
County, and practiced medicine. But he was destined to move on again ; love 
agitated his heart and he found Hummelstown too far away from Easton. 

In one of his writings he says : "September 28, 1816, I was married to 
Miss Mary Moore, a lady of Easton, Pa., where, like Dr. Franklin who tells the 
story of his after-wife (Mrs. Reed), I became acquainted with her under circum- 
stances more unfavorable than Franklin. He had two rolls of bread, I had none." 

After this important event he probably returned to Hummelstown, closed 
out his practice and concluded to settle in Easton, where we find him in 1817 
practicing medicine and running a drug store at Ross's corner, the stand now oc- 
cupied by Bush & Bull. 

A paper of March 31, 1S20, contains noticeof the removal of his drug store 
from Ross's corner to the stand three doors above the drug store of Dr. Wm. H. 
Reynals & Co., formerly Dr. Fickhardt's, who had recently moved to Ohio ; this 
store was nearly opposite the old Easton bank. 

This business venture was a failure, the amount involved being compara- 
tively small " when," as he puts it, "I commenced on a credit of five or six hun- 
dred dollars, after doing nearly thirty thousand dollars in trade." But he was a 
man of resources, and on June the loth of the same year he commenced the prac- 
tice of medicine in Freuchtown, N. J., where he spent the rest of his life. 

As he was preeminently a physician, the following consecutive history will 
be of interest. It will also give the modern doctor some idea of how young men 
acquired their medical education in those " good old days." 

His preceptor was Thomas Miner, M.D., of Haddam, Connecticut. He 
studied medicine in New York and obtained the following diploma from the 
Medical Institution of the State of New York : Be it known that Mr. Edmund 
Porter, of Connecticut, has attended the Course of Medical Instruction delivered 
by us in the Institution during the session of eighteen hundred and thirteen, and 
that his regular attention and general propriety of conduct have been satisfactory. 
In testimony whereof the common Seal of the Institution is hereunto affixed.

Anat. Chirurg. &c.; Jn. Grinow, Prof. Chem. & Nat. Phil.; Archibald Bruce, 
M.D., Prof. Mat. Med. & Mineralogy. On Record. New York, 23 February, 
1813. 

He also attended lectures under David Hosack, M.D., certificate dated 
New York, September 8, 1S14 ; Valentine Mott, M.D., certificate dated Univer- 
sity of the State of New York, August 30, 1814 ; Thos. Cock, M.D., Surgeon 
U. S. Hospital, Greenwich, August 26, 1814. 

Dr. Porter was licensed to practice as physician and surgeon by Mason F. 
Coggswell, President of the Connecticut Medical Society, at Saybrook, Middlesex 
County, April 25, 1813. 

A license is extant in the Swedish language, issued by Dr. Jacob Lauren, 
Surgeon to His Majesty the King of Sweden, in the Island of St. Bartholomews, 
West Indies, November 25, 1814. 

Among his papers were letters, highly commending him, from Dr. Samuel 
Osbom, Dr. Samuel Akerly, Dr. William F. Piatt, Isaac Bellknap, President

General, Third Military Division, Stephen Gorman, all of New York ; also letters 
from H. N. Snow and Thomas Sanford, of the Island of St. Bartholomews, West 
Indies. 

He was a licentiate of the Connecticut Medical Society, his diploma being 
dated April 25, 1813, and a member of the Medical Society of St. Bartholomews, 
and of the Union Medical Society of Pennsylvania. 

He was a voluminous writer on medical and other subjects. He wrote let- 
ters to Dr. James Lakey, of Frenchtown, from St. Bartholomews, on the treat- 
ment of yellow fever ; also from Alexandria (Frenchtown?) on the treatment of 
smallpox. His papers may be found in the New York Medical Repository, The 
America7i Medical Recorder, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Trenton 
True Americati, The Spirit of Pennsylva7iia, and The Easton Sentinel. 

He left Easton June 10, 1820, and went to Frenchtown, N. J., where he 
was very active in the formation of the District Medical Society for the County 
of Hunterdon. The following minute is on record in the proceedings of the Med- 
ical Society of New Jersey, May 3, 1821 : 

' ' On application for authority to form a medical societ5' in the county 
of Hunterdon : 

''Resolved, That and E. Porter be 

authorized to meet at Flemington on the 2d Tuesday of June next at 10 o'clock 
A.M., and there to organize a District Medical Society, according to the act of in- 
corporation, and that the Recording Secretar}' furnish, when organized, the said 
society with twenty-five copies of the by-laws of this society. ' ' 

Accordingly, ten of those authorized, met at Flemington, organized and 
admitted new members, among whom was John Sloan, who afterward became a 
successful and much-beloved physician in Easton. 

Dr. Porter was secretary of the society. He built a house in Frenchtown 
and deposited various papers, etc. , in the cornerstone, which were removed thirty 
years afterward from motives of curiositj'. In one of these papers he mentions 
that intermittent fever made its appearance in Frenchtown after an absence of 
twenty years ; this along the Delaware River ; in the interior, dj^senter}' was 
prevalent. Pulverized charcoal proved a useful adjuvant in the latter. The sea- 
sons for five years had been remarkably dr)^ ; 1823 was cold and inclement, frost 
and ice being seen on the 5th and 6th of May. He also says : " Intermitting and 
remitting fevers are our only complaints of consequence." 

But he was too active a man to confine himself to the practice of medicine 
alone. A contemporary in the profession says of him : " He had a turn for 
politics, and while at Frenchtown ran for Assemblyman at the Hunterdon County 
caucus twice, the last time with success. He had naturally a good mind, pos- 
sessed great social qualities and was a successful practitioner." He seemed to be 
in demand as orator on great occasions, and the speeches which have come down 
to us show that he was far in advance of the times. 

On the 4th of July, 1821, he delivered an oration at Frenchtown, N. J., 
in answer to a volunteer toast, " The inestimable right of taxing the colonies of 
North America." He delivered an oration at the public house of Peter Skillman 
on Washington's Birthday, 1822. This was an arraignment of the banking sys- 
tem of the country and imprisonment for debt. Both were printed in full. He

was always found on the side of the oppressed, and was exceedingly liberal in his 
views on all matters. 

He was one of the men who saw the necessity of public education ; he was 
chairman of a meeting convened at the house of Jonathan Britton, Freuchtown, 
N. J., September 22, 1S22, to consider the enactments for "free schools and to 
call the attention of the Legislature and public to the propriety of appropriating 
the interest of the school funds to the employment of teachers in the district 
schools and the education of poor children." The address to the citizens of New 
Jersey is signed by Dr. Edmund Porter, Chairman ; the account is published in 
the Trenton True American. 

Besides all this, he is said to ha%'e stood high in the Masonic Fraternity. 
When he died, at the age of 35 years, there were published many eulogies of his 
life, character and talents. 

The following is from an unknown newspaper : 

At his resilience in Frenchtown, Alexandria Township, Hunterdon County, on the I2th 
instant, of a Malignant Bilious Fever, Dr. Edmund Porter, in the 36th year of his age. By the 
death of Dr. Porter, a disconsolate and numerous family has been deprived of a kind and 
indulgent husband and father, a widowed wife is left to weep, and tender orphans have 
been made to mourn. A large circle of friends and acquaintances has experienced the loss of 
a good neighbor, an interesting companion, and a valuable member of society. The public 
will sadly realize the extent of the bereavement in the complete deprivation of the services of 
an indefatigable, attentive and skillful ph^-sician, who was eminently useful in alienating the 
miseries of afflicted humanity, by a successful prosecution of the healing art; and the world of 
letters will suffer in more than one of its departments by the death of him, whose pen 
occasionally beamed new lustre on the light of science and imparted instruction on a variety 
of subjects to the inquiring mind. Dr. Porter was an active member of the Rledical Society of 
Hunterdon County, and his talents au'l attainments challenged the respect of his professional 
brethren; as a politician, he was bold, frank and candid; his principles were purely Republican, 
and his essays as an author, written with ability on a variety of subjects of a public nature, have 
been read with pleasure and profit by many. His death has made a breach in society which 
will not soon be filled. 

He was buried at Frenchtown, but his remains were removed to the 
Easton Cemetery by his son Edmund. 

The following was written in answer to an inquiry of the Hunterdon County 
Medical Society for information in reference to Dr. Porter. The writer was 77 
years old at the time the letter was written : 

Easton, Pa., August 11, 1S71. 

Dr. Blane — Dear Sir : .\greeable to 3'our request I have made diligent search for the 
papers belonging to the late Dr. Edmund Porter, and have found but one, which contains some 
principal important facts, which speak for themselves, in his own handwriting. I regret very 
much the loss of his papers, as some of them were interesting and valuable — those of his 
recipes, showing the practice of medicine at that time, his certificates from the societies, one 
of %vhich was in Spanish* (that of St. Bartholomews), and all on parchment, his paper 
books, in which he noted down all his cases — the symptoms, disease, prescriptions, medicine 
administered, quantity, doses and the effect produced from day to day and the result. All his 
writings, published and unpublished, were written in books kept for that purpose. He was 
very particular in noting the state of the weather, the changes and the effects upon his patients. 
In all these matters he was very careful, the whole constituting a valuable diary of events. I 
was not aware of the loss until I made a strict inquiry and found it was caused by the intoler- 
able nuisance of house-cleaning semi-annually. 

I forward you an excellent portrait of the doctor, which I found in the trunk of his 
son Edmund, which you will please present to the Medical Society of Hunterdon County as a 
gift from me, believing that they will prize it more highly than any others to whom I could 
leave it. All of the Porter family are gone — all of my sisters and brothers-in-law. There are 
none left who have any recollection of Dr. Porter. Please accept it as a gift to the medical 
society from the last survivor. 

I am, very respectfully, yours, etc., 

S. Moore.

After the death of her husband, Mrs. Porter returned to Easton, with her 
three sons and remained here until her death in 1838. She died suddenly of 
apoplexy while sitting in a chair. Her brother Samuel administered her estate. 
In 1828 she settled up the accounts of her husband in French town as shown by 
a receipt in an old receipt book. Her sons were educated at Dr. Vanderveer's 
School at the north end of what is now Second Street. 

Edmund became a printer and was engaged for many years on the 
Pennsylvanian in Philadelphia. When Samuel D. Patterson became State 
Printer, he removed to Harrisburg and was employed on State work. In 1862, 
after making a visit to Camp Curtin, he was taken with confluent smallpox and 
died at the Pennsylvania House, corner of Second and Locust Streets, Richard 
Vaughn, proprietor. Mr. Vaughn announced to his guests at the breakfast table 
that Mr. Porter was ill with smallpox, that he could not turn his old friend and 
patron out and that he would not be offended if any one left. They all remained. 
Mr. Porter died; the next morning early he was rolled in a blanket and buried in 
a graveyard in Harrisburg. Samuel Moore, his uncle, settled his estate 

Thomas Miner learned the drug business iu Philadelphia. He opened a 
drug store in Easton in the Cawley Building nearly opposite the Swan Hotel on 
Northampton Street above Fourth. He died of consumption at the home of his 
aunt, Mrs. Hoflf, on east Northampton Street, near the Delaware Bridge. 

Leonidas went to the West or Southwest and was never heard from. It 
was supposed that he was killed by the Indians. 

The family has become extinct. The end of the story is told by the follow- 
ing inscription, which can be read on a tombstone in the Easton Cemetery near 
the Seventh Street entrance :

England, was the son of Edward Mott', born 1753, died 1824, who served seven 
years in the Second Troop Life Guards and who married, in 1776, London, Eng-

Philadelphia in 1803,! the grandson of Thomas Mott", born 1716, died 1763, and 

Jane Stiles' (Nathaniel*, 1652-1731, James', 1623-1692, m. Mary , died 

1703), the great-grandson of John Mott' and Mary . 

An old-fashioned, well preserved, stone in the Easton Cemetery bears the 
inscription : 

"In Memory of Mr. Gervis Beckbtt, Who Departed This Life 
December 23, 1S06, Aged S3 Years." 

He was born in the Parish of St. Abbott Mary, Kensington, England, in 
1723, and at the age of 21 enlisted in the "Second Troop of Horse Guards," 
commanded for a time by Lord Amherst, and served as a "private gentleman" 
for forty-four years. The duty of the "Horse Guards" was to attend his Majesty, 
the King, on all official occasions, and they were responsible for his safety. 
At the age of 75 Mr. Beckett accompanied his son-in-law, Edward Mott (who had 
married his only daughter Sarah), to America, and at the beginning of this 
century, took up his abode with them in Easton, where he died. The death 
notice of the day reads : "Died — In this borough on the 23d ult. (Dec. 1806), 
in the 83d year of his age, Garvis Beckett, father-in-law to Edward Mott. He 
came to this country about six years ago to end his days in the affections of an 
only son and daughter; of whom may be said, there has departed this transitory 
life, for a better, a truly honest man." Whilst the grave of this patriotic 
Englishman is almost unknown, descendants of his in the sixth and seventh 
generations have for several years placed their floral tributes thereon, in remem- 
brance of his devotion to his native country and the one he adopted at so advanced 
an age. His son-in-law, Edward Mott, had likewise served in "His Majesty's 
Second Troop of Life Guards" for seven 5'ears and five months, and was the same 
Edward Mott on whom the townspeople of Easton gazed with awe in his gold- 
framed spectacles — the first seen in the borough — and whose family' has been 
referred to in a communication from one of his connections. %

DeWees Patterson" (SamueP, Samuer). 

Samuel DeWees Patterson' was apprenticed to James Winnard, publisher 
of the Norristown Register. He was of a studious turn of mind with strong 
inclinations to composition and versification. Some verses of his appeared in the 
Neiv England Farmer (Boston, Mass.), in 1824 and in the Register. In 1828 he 
became editor of the Register continuing until 1834. In 1833 he was Recorder of 
Deeds of Montgomery County. From 1S34 to 1S37 he edited and published the 
Pennsylvania Reporter 3.n^ -^di^ ^.■^'^omXtA. State Printer by Gov. Wolf. In 1837 
President Van Buren appointed him United States Marshall for the Eastern District 
of Pennsylvania, from which office he retired in 184 1. In 1839 Gov. David D. 
Porter appointed him Aide-de-Camp on his staff with rank of Colonel. From 
1843 to 1848 he published the Saturday Evening Post (founded by Franklin, 1728), 
then in its zenith of prosperity as a family newspaper. It had among its contribu- 
tors Poe, Willis, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Cooper, Neal, G. P. R. James, 
Bayard Taylor, Mrs. Osgood, Mrs. Stephens, Mrs. Sigourney and Mary Howitt. 
Col. Patterson also frequently contributed to its columns. It was in the Post at 
this time that Bayard Taylor first contributed an account of foreign travels 
entitled "Views Afoot" and it was Col. Patterson's financial assistance which 
enabled him to make his first trip abroad, pleasant acknowledgment of which was 
made by Mr. Taylor in the first published volume of those letters (1846). In 
1845, President Polk appointed him Naval Agent at Philadelphia which oflSce 
he held until 1848. About this time he was also associated with John W. Forney, 
Mifflin Parry, Joseph Neal and A. Boyd Hamilton in the publication of the 
Pennsylva7iian, the predecessor of the Philadelphia Press. From 1848 to 1850 he 
■p\xh\\she.di Graham' s Magazine, but with its decline suffered severe financial losses. 
In 1 85 1, he removed to "Woodbourne" near Schuylkill Haven where he occupied a 
position with the Silver Creek Coal Mining Company. In 1855, or 1856 he 
removed to Evan.'^bnrg where he served as Justice and contributed to the local 
and city newspapers. 

Col. Patterson, as a political writer, wielded a pen, quiet, forcible and 
bold. His greatest accomplishments were in the field of literature, to which he 
gave much of his time. He contributed to journals and magazines already 
mentioned, and also to various "annuals" — The National Gleaner, Opal, Family 
Messenger, Casket, The Gift, The Fountaiyi, and to Godey's Ladies' National 
Magazine, Episcopal Recorder, Pennsylvajiian , Washington Union, etc.; of his 
poetical writings, the lines "My Mother" (1839), "The Little Straw Hat" (1844), 
"A Salt River Voyage" (1846), a political satire are among his best. Col.

Patterson was conspicuous for his scholarly attainments and refinement of 
manner. He was a very handsome man. He was an intimate friend and corre- 
spondent of President Buchanan, who frequently visited him and was godfather to 
two of his children. He was a friend to many struggling for literary recognition, 
sixty years ago, and was geuerous to a fault. He was a consistent Christian, a 
member of the Protestant Episcopal Church of which he long sen-ed as vestry- 
man. He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow and a member of the Hibernian 
Society of Philadelphia.

GENE A LOG Y 



Albert R. Foering' was the sou of Christian Frederick,' born February lo, 
1799, and Rachel Ross, born 1797, daughter of Captain Ross, of Southwark, 
Philadelphia, the grandson of John Foering^ born about 1773, probably at New 
York, where his father was pastor of a Reformed Dutch Church, from March 21, 
1772, until August 1775, and Catharine Knorr, born 1774 at Philadelphia, the 
great-grandson of Rev, ChristianFrederick', bornabout 1736 at Hanover, Germany, 
who came to New York with his mother, about 1743 and married, November 4, 
1769, Margaret Miller, Germantown, Pa. He removed to Millstone, N. J., as 
indicated by the following : 

In the fall of 1774, the consistory renewed their invitation to Mr. Foering, 
and he accepted in the early part of October, 1774, and moved the following month. 
He states in a letter that the low Dutch language was rapidly passing away in 
Millstone, and that he was called to preach altogether in English. During the 
first eighteen months of his ministry, which brings us down to the Declaration of 
Independence, eighteen persons united with the church on profession of their 
faith; during the next three years down to his death, not a single one. The 
excitement, the party strife, and the frequent proximity of the armies seriously 
interfered with the religious services.* 

In the fall of 1778, after the battle of Freehold, Washington took up his 
winter quarters again at Middlebrook. About this time, Mr. Foering preached 
a very patriotic sermon, which led to the formation of a compan}' from his con- 
gregation. The British sent out a party to capture him, so as to prevent his 
efforts among his people. But, although sick in bed at the time, by his wife's 
help he started for a place of safety, probably to Washington's camp, and his 
wife returned into the house to her three children, the oldest but eight years of 
age. "In a very short time the enemy came up, and in their search for one, 
whom they stigmatized as 'that rebel Foering,' thrust their swords through every 
bed in the house." Mr. Foering leaving home sick and subjected to exposure in 
his flight, took a heavy cold, from which consumption resulted, and March 29, 
1779, the first pastor of this church breathed his last. His body was deposited 
under the church in front of the sacred desk whence had issued the kindred 
lessons of religion and liberty, and his dust yet reposes beneath the second edifice. 
The congregation knew not where to look for another minister when a refugee 
preacher, Solomon Froeligh, appeared in their midst in the spring of 1780, one 
year after Mr. Foering 's death. t 

"It was on this month, or possibly on a similar one in December of the 
same year, as the Army of Liberty passed the parsonage (at Millstone), half 
clothed, unshod, and in want of food, that the patriotic Foering, collecting all the 
stores of his house, it being moreover, just after baking-time, and cutting the food 
into convenient portions, distributed them, as far as they would go, to the weary 
and hungry soldiers as they hurried on their way. On one of these occasions, as 
the army passed, they encamped for the night in the field directly south of the 
present parsonage, Washington himself sleeping in the northwest corner of the 
present homestead of John Van Doren."t

Easton, September 30, 1815. 
Dear Patty : 

I write to you by the command of my Mistress to request that you will have the good- 
ness to purchase for her two or three pieces of brown or half-bleached towelling, and have them 
put up with your goods to be sent to Easton. She priced them, as we passed through the City 
three weeks ago, at several shops, and was asked eleven pence a yard. I suppose you will 
have no diflSculty in finding some, but Susan recollects particularly that they saw it at a shop 
of a Mrs. Warner in Third Street between Market and Chestnut. I enclose a twenty-dollar 
bank note; and if it should not be enough will pay you the residue upon your return. But the 
devil is in it, if twenty dollars worth of towelling at eleven pence a yard will not be enough for 
the old Lady. 

We have returned from our excursion, sound and in good condition, all the bumps and 
jolts and lee-lurches over stones and in mud holes amongst the mountains and in the plains

notwithstanding. I expected a magnificent kiss from you on my return and am much 
disappointed to be obliged to wait for it until you come home, when I think you might give 
me two to pay me for the wear and tear of patience. Make my cordial salutations if you please 
to your amiable cousin Sarah; and tell her I am very much her admirer, and if I was a younger 
man should aspire to be something more. 

I have not seen since my return, and cannot therefore console you in the 

lingering hours of absence hy assuring you of his health and bloom and all that. Indeed we 
have so great an interest in the impatience to see him which will doubtless bring you the 
sooner back to Easton, that I should be malicious enough to preserve a profound silence about 
him even were it in my power to administer the aforesaid consolation to you — for although 
you love him, we lovejycK and are content, since it must be so, to owe your speedy return to 
any inducement, however little it may flatter ourselves. So come quickly. Dear Patty. I have 
no doubt that he is prodigiously impatient to see and to embrace you, and to exchange with 
you those tender vows and fascinating endearments which have so embellished the last ten or 
a dozen years of your mutual affection; and which I suppose you are afraid will vanish as the 
honey-moon wanes and are therefore determined that the sweet season of courtship shall be 
perennial. 

Adieu — I too love you dearly — and am, with equal devotion if not with equal ardour, 
Dear Patty, 

Your mo. ob. servt.

N. B. — The old Lady says, I am mad, and that ten dollars will be enough to send you — 
so ten dollars it is — Good Night Patty — go to bed soon — keep good hours and you will be sure 
to dream of those you love best. Late hours are terrible murderers of pleasant dreams — and 
when you shall have lived long enough to discover that dreams are always pleasanter than the 
realities of this scurvy existence of ours you will think it good economy to make as much of 
your dreams as }-ou possibly can. So Good Night, Patty !

Moore departed this life at his residence on Spring Garden Street, below Second,

side tearfully awaiting his dissolution. Mr. Moore was the oldest native resident 
of Easton, having been born on September 28, 1794, in the old stone housed still 
standing on the south side of Northampton Street, near the Delaware bridge, § and 
was a frequent looker-on when the builders were constructing that ancient struc- 
ture, which now gives passenger communication across the Delaware. His father 
was Samuel Moore, who moved here from Trenton, N. J., in 1782. At that time 
nearly all the population of Easton was of German descent, and among the first 
English settlers who followed were the Greens, Reeders and Howells. Born when 
Washington was yet President, when Pennsylvania was largely a wilderness and 
Easton was scarcely more than a village, Mr. Moore had lived to cast seventeen 
Presidential votes, to see his native State increase from half a million to near four 
million souls, and his birthplace of 150 houses and a population of 800 to grow to

for education to so many thousands of pupils, was then just building. No bridges 
crossed the Delaware or Lehigh, the post-oflBce had just been established, and the 
first newspaper and printing office was making first strides towards a livelihood, 
under Jacob Weygandt. 

Mr. Moore received his education at a subscription school in Easton, and 
later at a boarding school in Philadelphia, at Third and Market Streets. The 
following letter to his sister Mary from the city at that time, now in the possession

A reading book is in the possession of his nephew, Augustus Kellogg 
Moore, of New York. On the title-page is the name, Samuel Moore, 180-.

Mr. Moore, in 1812, began business life as an apprentice to Thomas J. 
Rogers, who published the Northamptoyi Farmer, a small sheet, " in a one-story 
boarded log house on Northampton Street, between Second and Third." George 
Deshler bought out this establishment in 1815, and took young Moore into a 
partnership, which was maintained for two years. They issued the Spirit of 
Pennsylvania. The following notice is taken from the Spirit of Pttinsylvania,

He early gained a degree of patriotism, and his blood frequently boiled 
with the fire of youth in hearing of the deeds of valor of revolutionary times. 
Thus it was that he became a ready volunteer when his country needed aid in the 
War of 1812. When the news reached Easton that the British had taken Wash- 
ington, he was in the crowd which formed a citizens' meeting at the corner of 
Fourth and Northampton Streets, and was filled with a desire to take part in the 
strife. Hence, when, on the next day, a crier called for volunteers to form a rifle 
company, under Captain Abraham Horn, he filed into line behind the fife and

drum and began a soldier's life, serving as Second Sergeant. The company was 
presented with a flag by Miss Beidelman, and then, on September 28, 1814, began 
its march for Philadelphia. A tag attached to the flag bears the following record : 

This flag was presented by Miss Rosanna Beidelman on behalf of the ladies of Easton, 
to Capt. Abraham Horn's Company of Volunteer Riflemen, 1st Co. ist Regt. Colonel Hum- 
phrey's in September 1 8 14, immediately after the burning of Washington City with this address— 
" Under this flag march to glory." The Ensign replied " I will mam," not " I be's the man," 
as stated in the " History of the Lehigh Valley." It was subsequently voted at a general meet- 
ing of the members of the Company, called for the purpose, to deposit the flag in The Easton 
Library in honor and remembrance of the patriotic donors. S. Moore. 

The flag which is deposited in the Easton Library is ninety-seven inches 
in length and fifty-five in breadth. The material throughout is heavy silk. The 
stripes are sewed over and over. The stars are sewed one on each side, so that 
both sides of the flag present the same appearance. The fly is indigo-blue in 
color and has upon it thirteen eight-pointed stars, each seven inches across from 
point to point. Twelve of the stars are arranged in a circle; the thirteenth is placed 
in the centre. The circumference of the circle passing through the centres of the 
stars has a diameter of forty inches. The stars are white. The union is made 
of thirteen stripes of silk, alternately red and white. There are seven red and 
six white stripes. The length of the stripes coincides with the length of the union. 
The dimensions of the union are thirty-four by twenty-eight inches. The whole 
is mounted upon a pole having a brass spear at its top. 

The red has faded out almost entirely; the blue remains as when first 
colored. The silk has become very rotten, and unless laid away in a safer place 
will soon go to pieces. 

The War of 18 12 was fought under the flag of fifteen stars and fifteen 
stripes*. 

The following letter was written from camp in 1814 : 

Phii,adei,phia, October 31st, 1814. 
Dear Sister : 

My fears are at length verified — we are obliged to march to Camp Dupont on Wednes- 
day morning next, which is said to be a healthy part of the country, well calculated and all 
prepared for our reception — the distance from this place is five and thirty miles — three days 
march. Heretofore, I placed but little confidence in the reports. In my last you will observe, 
however, my opinion of the present; it was so different and published in a manner through the 
camp that I could not forbear giving my real opinion, which has proved to be correct. I have 
however to regret stating to you even the truth, as, no doubt, had I informed you we were to 
march one month ago, we would have taken our jaunt to Bristol — this I for speaking truth. 

Since my last we drummed a fellow out of the regiment for desertion — such was the 
sentence of the court-martial. The manner it was done was as follows: the regiment was 
formed in double files, the rear ranks moved back ten paces, the prisoner was brought up with 
a file of men consisting of six, with sergeant Horn as commander of the guard, the rifles of the 
guard crossed in front and rear. On passing between the files, we came to a charge and the "Rogue's 
March," was beat by the music — through and in presence of at leastone thousand men. Yester- 
day we had a burying of one of the militia men who was left in the Hospital, at the time of 
their marching from Camp. Our company was here again highly honored, with the prefer- 
ence given them by the colonel. Twelve of our men were ordered to take the right, which 
was done with the greatest of pleasure; on reviewing the corps we came to a "reverse arms" 
marched with the dead march to the grave and deposited the corpse from whence it sprung and 
fired eight rounds and returned to camp with a quick step; I volunteered on this occasion — no 
sermon was preached. 

Contrary to my vpishes and expectations I have again received my trunk, I had every- 
thing necessary here for the campaign without it, and will be obliged to leave it with some 
{Kend. 

In yours, you stated something respecting Col. Horn, which be assured if taken from 
my letter was a great mistake as this was not the person I alluded to, it was Colonel Humphrey 
and not Horn that commanded the regiment at that time. Col. Horn has never had the com- 
mand since his arrival, and its my opinion if he had things would go much more regular.

as nothing can be said in truth to the disgrace of the Lieutenant Colonel. This afternoon at 
two o'clock we came to the City for our knives and Hatchets and also for our Powder Horns; if 
we march, which there is now no doubt but that we shall, I shall write immediately after our 
arrival at camp Dupont. If you come to the City let me know and I shall endeavor to get a 
furlo; for the purpose of coming to the City and going to Bristol. 

I have been again promoted, to 2d Sergeant, our company is all well. Youmustexcuse 
me with these few lines, as I have been filling up muster rolls and inspection rolls these three 
days, so that it tires me to write — we expect to draw two months pay tomorrow, and we will 
also be inspected. 

My compliments to (all well) Euphoemia, my friends and acquaintance; tell 
Euphoemia her relations are all in perfect health and that I have not yet received any letter 
from either her or Abigail or Abijah. 

Your affectionate 
Brother 

S. Moore. 
N. B. X shall write tomorrow to Sarah if possible. 

Adieu

In 18 15 the prominent young men of the town organized a social body 
called "The Ugly Club." The requirements for admission were so made that 
the pain of rejection was palliated by the report of the Committee on Nomina- 
tions. A special committee was appointed to examine the applicant and if he 
was not desired they reported "that he was not ugly enough." The Club was 
organized December 15, 1S15, and exercised great influence in the social life of 
the town as is indicated by the correspondence in the newspaper by those who 
were not invited to the Club's balls. At a meeting held January 8th, 1816, to 
commemorate the battle of New Orleans, Samuel Moore proposed the toast ' 'The 
Joints of a Nelson dislocated by the superior skill of a Decatur." His name 
then disappears until December 15, 1820 when a member proposed the following 
toast: — "Samuel Moore, one of bur fraternity — Though separated from us by the 
prairies of the West, the wilds of Nature have not severed our affections." He 
was present again June 21, 1S22 at which meeting it is "Resolved, That a 
certificate of 'honorary membership' be given to Samuel Moore in consequence 
of his leaving his place of Nativity, the Borough of Easton." 

In 1 818 Mr. Moore and his sister Martha crossed the mountains of 
Pennsylvania on horseback and settled in Cincinnati, then a sniall town, where 
he remained four years. On his way to the West he wrote the following letter 
to Dr. Edmund Porter. There is evidence in old copies of the Spirit of 
Pennsylvariia that he acted as Legislative correspondent for that paper. 

Harrisburg, January 25th, 1818. 
Dear Sir : 

Since my arrival in this place I have had an opportunity of visiting the senate and 
house of Representatives, and have heard considerable debating, tho' not any lengthy 
speeches; to speak truth there are no speakers in the H. equal to Ross or Sitgreaves' Stewart, 
Douglass and Kelley are the principal on our side, Leile, Slaymaker &c on the opposition, tho* 
their influence does not extend beyond the bounds of party. Several important bills have 
lately been brought forward; one to tax the U. S. Bank, excited considerable interest, 
another to appropriate a specified sum (250,000$) for the erection of a state capital. This bill 



2^6 GENEALOGY 

was originally brought forward by Dr. Leile, but owing to some defects, was submitted to a 
committee of one member from each county. A bill has also been reported for the erection of 
a new state prison, which it is thought will supercede the building of the capital. I board 
with Mr. Schock, at the same place with Leile, Lowry, Marks, Christie, French & Dyer — 
divided in politics. We have been much amused here with the appearance of several 
Chickasaw Indians in their natural uniform, \Vm. Colbett, and Michal Leile, so that you may 
suppose that our idle hours are not altogether lost. Findley is overrun with the numerous 
office holders and office hunters, which renders his situation by no means an enviable one. 
Rotation is the cry, but little practised, so far as you will perceive by the appointments already 
made. Colbett's business here is to obtain a law, or the passage of one, to relieve him of a 
fine of 5000 dollars, for a libel on Dr. Ruth— it is supposed the monej- will have to be paid with 
interest for about 1.5 years. Do please to request sister Sarah to forward ray boots & shoes 
(packed up) by the Lancaster mail to Lancaster — entered on the way bill & pay the costs to 
L. so that I can send our coachee driver to the stage oiSce at L. Excuse the shortness of this 
epistle, but expect to hear from me again occasionally. Write soon. My compliments &c. 
Past n — Good night. 

Yours in haste 

Saml Moore. 

P. S. How comes on your Election for Congress — let us hear every tittle of the news 
afloat. My candidate is here. I shall vote by prox}' if F. J. R. is the candidate, he is quite a 
worthy member. 

Moore. 

At Harrisburg he worked at the same case with Simon Cameron and later 
watched with great interest the successful business and political career of General 
Cameron. The journey took a month, and when they reached their destination 
a great sorrow awaited them. The daughter of Anu Moore Kelley tells the story 
in a letter to her Aunt Abigail, dated August ist, 1857 : "I recollect after we 
had been out here some two or three years that Uncle Samuel and Aunt Martha 
came out to see us, little dreaming of the sad blow that awaited them in the death 
of a loved sister. They little thought that the}' would never meet again when 
they parted in their native home. My father met them at the gate and the}' saw 
his tears. They knew something was the matter. After he had told them of his 
sad loss Aunt Martha fainted. They carried her into the house and put her on a 
bed. Oh ! that was a fearful blow for us children but He who ' tempers the wind 
to the shorn lamb' took us under his kind care and we found many friends and 
yet at the time we thought it hard to lose so devoted a parent. 'Tis true we had 
our trials, but who has not? but God blessed us, and we made many friends and 
kept them. Although we were blessed with plenty, and although we lived in 
perfect harmony, having everything almost of this world's goods to make us con- 
tented, still there was a void left in our midst which nothing could ever fill when 
our mother, our best friend, good counsellor, and bright example of all the 
virtues that adorn the female character, was taken from us and from all who loved 
her to a better and a happier home." 

Upon his departure to the West the following action was taken by the guards : 

At a meeting of the Guards on the 21st. Febr. 1S18 on motion Resolved that the thanks 
of the Easton Guards be tendered (thro' the Seal) to the late Ensign Samuel Moore for his 
soldierly and Gentlemanly conduct while holding said command and that he be admitted an 
honorary member of the Corps.

On October 31, 1818, he bought of John Cummins and his wife, Alice, of 
Batavia, Ohio, lot No. 1 1 1 ( S A Y ) on the plot of the town of Batavia. The 
indenture is witnessed by George Hunt and Thomas Kelley; the latter was a 
brother-in-law. He then recrossed the mountains in the slow conveyances of 
that time and spent several years in thirteen different states going as far south 
as South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. He then returned to Easton. 



GENEALOGY 277 

In 1824 he went with the Union guards to Philadelphia and took part in 
the reception to General Lafayette, and while there shook hands with the distin- 
guished Frenchman — an incident he well remembered and alwaj-s referred to with 
pride, being just thirtj- years of age on that day. 

Ou March 5th, 1825, he and William Beckett Mott went to Savannah, in 
company with a man by the name of Coe, to improve the working of the ochre 
mines of Edward Mott, and to farm part of the tract of land to help pay expenses. 
Mr. Mott remained but a short time and then returned to Philadelphia. The 
venture failed, owing to want of means to get the ore to market. Coe cleaned 
out the whole business and escaped to parts unknown, and Samuel Moore went to 
Milledgeville. 

Before 1S32 he was connected with the Belvidere Apollo. 

January 29, 1836, Governor Ritner appointed him Clerk of the Court of 
General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, and Clerk of the Court of Oyer and Ter- 
miner and Jail Delivery, for Northampton County. January 8, 1839, he was re- 
appointed- At that time Judges John Banks, Daniel Wagner and John Cooper 
were on the bench ; Rev. J. N. Brobst was recorder, Joseph Weaver, register, 
Hiram Yard, sheriff and Andrew H. Reeder, treasurer. 

In 1837 he was one of the founders of a Society, which did much good in 
Easton, for many years. This copy of a letter in the possession of Augustus K. 
Moore, New York, tells the story in his own words : 

Easton, Feb. i, 1S80. 
Mv De.\r Son : 

I am much obliged to you for the present of the box you sent, and in return, if you visit 
us on the 22d. Feb. (my mother's birth day) I will return the compliment, by the gift of a 
handsome gold headed cane, presented to me by "The Northampton Beneficial Society of the 
Borough of Easton" of which I was one of the founders and was elected Secretary for thirty 
eight years in succession ; which expended forty thousand dollars and over for weekly benefits 
of <3 pr. week in sickness of members and funeral expenses. Now, I desire you to take good 
care of it, and hand it down to the oldest son of your family and his successors, to the end of 
time, together with this letter. I am now in my eighty sixth year and cannot expect to remain 
much longer altho' my general health is excellent but my legs are giving out and I am advised 
by Dr. Green* to exercise them every day by taking a walk of two or three squares each day, 
three times. I have found great relief from the prescription and will continue it as long as I 
can walk. Anna is with us, Mr. Doty being out West hunting a place to settle. We are all 
well. Yours &c. 

S. Moore. 

December 17, 1839, he entered into a partnership with Mott, Schober & 
Co., Importers and Dealers in China, Glass and Queensware, of Philadelphia. 
E. T. Mott was a nephew and Samuel Schober married a niece. The firm name 
was S. Moore & Co.; the business which was entirely wholesale was first located 
on East Northampton Street. October i, 1851, the firm dissolved and the busi- 
ness was carried on by S. Moore alone, being now both wholesale and retail. The 
store and storehouse were on the lot extending from Northampton to Pine Street, 
now occupied by Abie's Opera House. The firm of Mott & Schober continued 
for many years, at length changing to Edward T. Mott, and unfortunately in 
1857, was one of the first to go under in the frightful panic of that year, with lia- 
bilities of over a quarter of a million dollars. Samuel Moore was on the Philadel- 
phia firm's paper for a very large sum and the Easton business was closed out in 
1857- 

In 1845 he took a part in the temperance agitation and became a Son of 
Temperance, February 27th. 

* Dr. Traill Green, his cousin.

April 5, 1849, the agitation, started and continued by Dr. Traill Green, re- 
sulted in the establishment of the Easton Cemeterj' Company. Samuel Moore 
was a charter member. 

At a meeting of the Town Council of the Borough of Easton held at their Hall the First 
day of July A.D. 1853 Samuel Moore was duly elected a member of the said Town Council to 
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Jefiersou K. Heckman to serve until the next an- 
nual meeting.

The year 1855 was an eventful one for the Masonic Fraternity in Pennsyl- 
vania. The great Temple on Chestnut Street was dedicated and Samuel Moore 
took a part in the exercises. It was at this time that Edmund Porter, his 
nephew, presented him with a silver-headed cane. Old Independence Hall in 
Philadelphia had just passed through the hands of the "restorers" and a piece of 
the wood of the original building was made into canes. The cane is a part of 
the old wood. On the silver head is the following inscription : "Presented to 
Samuel Moore by Edmund Porter, September 26th, 1855." On four panels on 
the sides of the head are the words, one in each panel, "Virtue Liberty And 
Independence." This cane which was highly prized by him, on account of its 
many suggestions of his family, his Society, and the early history of his country, 
was presented by him to his son James W. Moore'. 

April 27, 1859 he was commissioned Justice of the Peace for Bushkill 
Ward by Governor W. F. Parker, April 14, 1S64 by Governor A. G. Curtin, 
April 14, 1869 by Governor J. W. Geary, and April 14, 1874 by Governor J. F. 
Hartranft. He held the office for twenty years, retiring in 1879 with the full con- 
fidence of the entire community. 

He was Chief Burgess of his native town for four years, during the 
troublous period of the Civil War, and had the support of the best people in the 
community. 

He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity and of the order of Odd 
Fellows. He was an earnest advocate and friend of the Public School System 
and used his influence in its development. 

Augustus K. Moore, of New York, has a copy of the Northampton Whig, 
of Tuesday, December 4, 1832, containing the following notice : 

Married — At Asbury, on Tuesday last, by the Rev. Mr. Castner, Mr. Samuel Moore, 
printer, of this place, to Miss Elizabeth Warmsley, of Mansfield tsp. Warren County, N. J. 

His successes and the confidence imposed in him he has always attributed 
to the good influences of this faithful. Christian woman, who, for over fifty years, 
has been his constant companion, the sharer of his joys and sorrow, the great 
help of his life. The Free Press readers will remember the interesting account 
of their golden wedding, published some months ago in these columns. This 
death is the first in the family for forty years, and it was the result of the gradual 
giving away of the system. In his illness he was patient, submissive, meek. On 
Friday last he lay down to sleep and so rested with scarcely a movement until 
summoned into the presence of his Maker. He was liberal and progressive in 
everything — in politics a Whig and later a Republican; he believed in the Father- 
hood of God and knew that a father loves his children and is just. He claimed 
individual freedom of interpretation of the Scriptures. His family, in America, 
was founded in 1642 by an "Independent" minister, some of whose descendants 
became prominent in the Episcopal Church, others in the Presbyterian, some Old 



GENEALOGY zyg 

School, some New School. His mother had a pew in each of the three churches 
in Easton, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Episcopal. He joined no church until 
late in life and then cast his lot with the Methodist Episcopal. His wife was the 
daughter of a member of the Church of England, who became a Methodist, a 
granddaughter of one of the founders of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in 
Warren County, New Jersey, and the niece of a celebrated Methodist 
preacher, known from New York to Virginia, the Rev. John Potts. These were 
all Quakers originally, who later took an active part in the movement inaugurated 
by John Wesley. He says ' 'to this denomination am I indebted for the change 
in my course of life. " He became a trustee of the Church and forwarded its 
interests, caring nothing for the slurs cast upon him, for he himself had been 
"violent in my (his) opposition to this sect." 

In his home-life he was a model father. He used to tell us of the difference 
between the latter days and the old ones ; how drinking was the habit of every one ; 
how liquor was kept on the sideboard at which visitors were expected to partake ; 
how a refusal was regarded as an insult ; how the stately men and women of those 
days danced the minuet ; he would illustrate to his children, by going through 
the dance, and to his grandchildren, even after he was over seventy-five. He was 
filled with the history of the past and his children were familiar with the details 
of the Revolution of 1812-1S14 and the Mexican War. Later he was intensely 
interested in the Civil War. The wars of Napoleon were familiar to us, for he 
was conversant with them, being a contemporary. When he took us on his knee, 
he thrilled our youthful hearts with the deeds of daring of our ancestors and 
taught us a true patriotism which was not the go.spel of selfishness but of altruism. 
The old revolutionary songs from Yankee Doodle through a list, a long one, were 
the hymns he sung to quiet us, leaving the religious ones to the sweeter and more 
musical voice of our mother. The children grew up and never knew the time 
when they learned history. On Sunday, the sweetest day in the whole week, 
when the writer was just able to reach up and take his little finger, at a certain 
time of day, we walked abroad ; the boy talked ; the father talked ; he pointed out 
the glories of our scenery ; we breathed the pure air, and the week was too long 
before the return of the next Sunday. A rainy day was a calamity which was 
truly wept over. 

During the childhood of the compiler a picture of George Washington and 
a companion picture of Martha Washington were shown to him by his mother on 
occasions of special goodness on his part. They were carefully wrapped in tissue 
paper and kept in a locked bureau drawer. They were given to Augustus Kel- 
logg Moore, "the eldest son of the eldest son," by Samuel Moore^ These pic- 
tures were in the family for years. Mr. Bradley, a dealer in old engravings in 
New York, gives the following description and comment. 

George Washington, Esq. Bust, head to left, oval, in a rectangle. Mezzotints. 
Height, ii"'is inches. Width, 10 inches. Wooley pinxit et sculpsit. Published at the 
Shakespeare Gallery, No. 11 Park, N. York. Extremely rare. .\ copy of the Stuart head. 
Wooley engraved, iu the same style, a portrait of Mrs. Washington as a companion print. 

There are only three or four other copies in existence — one in Philadelphia, 
perhaps three in Boston. 

The following letters written to his nephew, Frederick Schober, recall the 
stirring events of the Civil War.

Easton, Penna., September 28, 1864. 
My Dear Nephew : 

This being my birth day, I have concluded to devote a portion of it in writing to you. 
I am this day " three score years and ten," the allotted age of man, having been born in the 
troublous days of the whiskey insurrection of Peunsylvania, and may perhaps die in the great 
rebellion. I sometimes think I have seen the best days of the republic. My father was born 
and reared near Trenton, N. J., was brought up on a farm, but subsequently learned the car- 
penter's trade. He belonged to a company of Minute Men in the Revolution, and was out fre- 
quently at the call of his commanders. He married and settled in this place in 1783, and in 
1794 was drafted, but provided a substitute, in consequence of my expected birth. In 1S14 I 
volunteered, and served a tour of three mouths in the War of 181 2. Thus you see I am an old 
soldier, the son of a soldier — but am sorry to say, that I have no representative in the army or 
navy to battle for our Union — but, thank God, other branches of the family have supplied the 
deficiency— and among them is my great-nephew, Frederick Schober, 3d Asst. Engineer. Now 
Fred, you have position, look up, work your way forward, obey all orders whether right or 
wrong in your estimation, be attentive and vigilant in the execution of your duties, and advance- 
ment is sure to follow. It is an honorable position, a stepping stone, and it depends upon you 
whether 3'ou go up or down. 

But I was ordered to write about the war and our elections. First, then the War is 
going on admirably and successfully. You have, doubtless, heard of the capture, by Admiral 
Farragut, " lashed to the mast-head, "of the Forts at Mobile, and his entering the inner harbour. 
General Sherman has captured Atlanta and General Sheridan has cleared Early out of the 
Shenandoah Valley, after two successful battles, in which he captured some twenty six guns, 
with caissons complete, and over six thousand prisoners, besides the killed and wounded. He 
is still in pursuit towards Lynchburg ; Early's army is said to be completely demoralized, scat- 
tered in every direction. We have the ofhcial accounts of the above battlts ; they are true, and 
great rejoicing has taken place over them. Grant still has a tight grip on Petersburg and Rich- 
mond, and is being reinforced by thousands upon thousands, the draft being enforced in the 
Copperhead Counties and districts, where they would do nothing for their country, whilst the 
Republican districts have filled up their quotas by volunteering generally. Philadelphia is 
nearly out, or will be in a day or two. My good old native town has a surplus for three years, 
and the cities and towns generally have filled their quotas of the last c.ill for five hundred 
thousand men. The deficiency is in the country Democratic districts. By reference to the 
map you will find the rebellion is now confined to a small space in comparison to what it was 
at its commencement. By the capture of Lynchburg, Va., the last remaining railroad for sup- 
plying the rebel army at Richmond will be cut oS, and Richmond must fall, fall beyond all 
doubt ; it is a mere matter of time to save life ; Grant could capture the place at any time, at 
the sacrifice of thousands of lives, but will not do it. He will play Vicksburg over again. This 
is an excellent trait in his character. 

You will perhaps wonder who General Sheridan is. He was general of Cavalrj^ and made 
several successful raids to and around the rebel army, near Richmond. After the defeat of 
General Wallace, the ill success of General Hunter and the dilatory movements of General 
Couch, who each commanded a department, and were independent of each other, General 
Grant came on from Richmond, and had the three consolidated, and placed Sheridan in full 
command. This cured the clashing and resulted in brilliant victories to our armies. He, like 
Grant and Sherman, is not like McClellan, who would gain a victory, squat down, and give the 
enemy time to recuperate and strengthen themselves ; No ! they strike, gain, strike again, 
pursue and strike, pursue, demoralize, or destroy their enemy. We have reports of Farragut's gun- 
boats passing the bar, or obstructions in the harbour of Mobile, having the city at his command, 
and that it had surrendered unconditionally, but this wants confirmation. I believe, however, 
it will soon take place, if it has not already. The enemy by the accounts in their papers, from 
the reports of officers and men taken prisoners, are very much depressed and say " that the re- 
bellion is played out." I suppose that you have heard of the arrival of your prize, the Georgia, 
in the United States. We thought you might probably- be on board of her, but was not disap- 
pointed at your not being on hand. It is the universal opinion that she will be condemned ; if 
so why you, the "3d As" will come in for a share of the prize money ! Good for the Niagara, 
hope you will catch every piratical rebel craft on the ocean, and divide the spoil, and every 
good union " land lubber" would cry "good" and cheer you and fire big guns — [swivels are 
our big guns] — whilst the " Copper heads" would declare it " un-con-sti-tu-tion-al"; an instru- 
ment ninety nine out of everj' hundred never reail. 

.As to the election, our men are confident of success in the State, and talk of gains in 
Congress. They, the leaders, are working day and night. But you know this district is copper to 
the back bone, and we do not think of a change, yet we have meetings and speeches every night 
in the public .Square, whilst the opposite party hold theirs at their head quarters. We keep in 
view the Presidential election, where every vote will count. The soldiers in camp will now be 
allowed to vote, of which, the great body will vote for Lincoln and Johnson. The Democrats 
were opposed to their voting and cast their ballots against them, at the election held in August 
for the purpose of deciding that question. We beat them bj- a large majority. A number of 
the states have amended their Constitutions in a similar manner ; N. Jersey, I believe, is the 
only State that repudiates its patriotic soldiery in this respect. This question has strengthened 
the Union Party greatly. The Democratic platform goes for " an immediate suspension of hos- 
tilities," and nominated Gen. McClellan for President, who makes a platform for himself, in his 
letter of acceptance, and Pendleton of Ohio, for Vice President, who was a peace man, of the 



GENEALOGY 281 

Vallandingham stripe, and voted in the last Congress against all and every measure for the sup- 
port of the war for putting down the rebellion. This combination of oil and water raised a 
beautiful quarrel in the ranks of the part\-, and several of the Peace party papers, came down 
on the General like an avalanche for a time, but at length knocked under ! Not so with the 
armv, where McClellau possessed some popularity ; they declare that he is joined to their 
enemies and the foes of the Union, and will not support him. I have given you this outline of 
partv affairs, which bv the wav, I am extremely sorry exists in our counlr\- at this time, a time 
of rebellion and war— without knowing your sentiments, but presume you as an officer under 
government will " stand by the flag," and further that you will, as I did when young, adopt, 
stick to, and carry out the patriotic sentiments of the gallant Commodore Decatur, in the War 
of 1812, [at which time parties were as bitter as they are now] which was — " Our Country- 
right or wrong." That is our country [union if }-ou please] first, last, under all circumstances, 
and forever. There vou have mv sentiments in a nut shell — adopted in my youth from the im- 
mortal Decatur. I care not who is President — I %vill support the government against all 
enemies, in time of war whether foreign or domestic. As an old whig, and much as the party 
were opposed to the war with Mexico, yet after the first battle the party in Congress and out 
supported the administration— voting supplies for the army and navy with one exception, I 
mean Tom Corwiu, who was finally forced into the harness, and could and did rejoice at the 
success of our arms— but it not so now. The falsely named democratic party make no public 
demonstrations, no cheers, no rejoicing for our victories but oppose every measure for the sup- 
port of government, the armv or navy, and do all they can to cripple, if not destroy the efforts 
of government to restore the' Union ;' but all their efforts will fail ; Grant is within four miles of 
Richmond, now fighting, and we expect daily, yea, hourly to hear of its capture. Sheridan's 
successes have been greater than we anticipated when I commenced this letter. We hear 
October 3rd that his capture of Staunton terminated in a vast destruction of stores and material 
of the enemy. Earlv's armv is broken up and demoralized, some in the mountains, others 
scattered, and deserters are coming in by hundreds, Sherman strengthening Atlanta, as a mili- 
tary depot of supplies. The governor of Georgia, and Vice President Stephens, it is said, have 
proposed to withdraw the State of Georgia from the Confederacy. The Governor [B ?] has 
already withdrawn the militia, 15000 from Hood's command, and Jeff Davis has gone on to Macon 
to see what's up ! These things look ominous, turn out as they may. Fremont has backed 
down and supports Lincoln. Blair has been retired from the position of Postmaster General, 
and Denison of Ohio succeeds him ; Blair supports Lincoln. There has been powerful strength 
added to the Union Party lately, eminent men who have been life long Democrats, but their 
patriotism has triumphed over party feeling—" Country first, party afterwards" is their motto ; 
put down the rebellion ; we never will conquer it by divisions in the North say they. 

I have now written, perhaps, a great deal too much, and will close by saying, there is 
not the least doubt of Lincoln's reelection at this time, but it will depend in a great measure 
upon the success of our arms. If Grant is successful it will give him a tremendous majority if 
unsuccessful, it may be doubtful. The armies are strengthened by thousands daily, the last 
draft of 500,000 is pouring in and filling up the ranks, nearly all volunteers or substitutes. I 
suppose, Libby, James and your father will give you all the family news, and as it has devolved 
on me to give you the political — you see I have pitched into it. Excuse errors, and 
believe me to be 

Your friend and aff'ectionate old Uncle 

S. Moore. 

E.^STON, January 9th, 1S65. 
My De.\r Nephew : 

It appears that the duty assigned to me by the governess of the family is to keep you 
advised of the militarv and political events of our once peaceful and happy country ; but all my 
arguments as to your" obtaining the news by the papers, are of no avail : the constant reply is 
"Father you miist write, he will be so glad to hear from you! " &c., &c. Well then, as to 
military operations ; we have been nearly everywhere successful. The army of the Potomac 
still holds Richmond, with the largest army the Rebels have, under Lee, in check, whilst 
General Sherman has passed thro' from Atlanta to Savannah, captured it, with an immense 
amount of cotton [say 33,000 bales in store, and probably as much more within his lines], 
cannon, military stores, &c., &c. Hardee's army escaped. It is expected that his ne.\-t move 
will be to Charleston ; if so it must fall, together with Augusta and Jlacon. The people of 
Savannah received him with open arms, held a public meeting, the Mayor presiding and 
" knocked under," unanimously. Hood has been defeated, pursued and his army nearly de- 
stroyed at Nashville, Tenn., by General Thomas, and it is doubtful whether the Rebel 
powers at Richmond can recuperate him. His losses are estimated at 20,000 men. Sheridan 
remains in the Shenandoah Valley keeping a sharp look out, well prepared for any emergency. 
The vear 1S64 has closed very favourably for our good old Union— " in the triil by battle " — 
it being the third stage our country is passing through— first, the establishment of our inde- 
pendence, second, sustaining it against foreign powers and lastly, against internal traitors, and 
all not only by arms, but what is equally glorious, by the ballot box. But more of this here- 
after. 

The combined attack of Admiral Porter, %vith an immense fleet and General Butler 
commanding the army, on Wilmington, N. C, has been a failure. Wilmingtim is a strong 
place, and so situated that it was considered by outsiders almost impossible to take it, but on 
this subject, you can obtain more information 'aboard ship than I can give you. The failure.

however, is said to be due to a want of co-operation between the commanders — but "thinks I to 
myself — Wilmington will soon find "an army in the rear" as well as Charleston, via Savannah. 

The expedition under Gen. Banks to Texas was also a failure, from what cause has not 
been made public. It is now undergoing an investigation before the Committee on the War ia 
Congress. 

The capture of the in a neutral Brazilian port, has incited much newspaper 

discussion as well at home as abroad. The London Times as usual blows the bellows for the 
nobility of England, and the aristocratic rebel party of America. That pirate was run into and 
sunk. The whole thing will amount to nothing. Simmes has according to rebel accounts 
arrived at Mobile. 

As to political matters, since the election, there is not one word said between the 
parties, no excitement, the opponents of the "administration" knocked under like men, but 
still insist on their being good Union Men; but how to reconcile the matter I never could see. 
It would be something like a ship's crew under our dear old flag at sea, far out, saying, we 
love our country and flag but we will throw our commander and all the oflScers overboard, and 
let her drift. 

There is now no doubt of the Constitution of the United States being amended, so as to pro- 
hibit slavery, put a duty on exports, and perhaps some other amendments, if not at the present, 
the next session will be sure. There are now but eight members. Democrats of course, required to 
make up the three fourths requirement, and one of them was to make a speech in favor of it 
today. A measure of this kind would remove the danger for the future. The only remaining 
danger I apprehend for the future, is "the corruption of the people;" for it seems to me that the 
scramble for office, and money, money, money ! is so great, that it has been dangerous to our 
Republican institutions; if not already, it will be. There are thousands totally incompetent, 
hankering for office constantly, who claim it, for their adherence to party only, ignoring their 
duties to their country, their flag, and their God. 

My dear nephew, you are a young man. You have made the first step for yourself up 
the ladder [or rattlings you would call it, I suppose] of life, and as you reach upwards cling 
to principle, study it, adhere to it, and do nothing in violation of your better judgment, that 
you may regret in after years. 

I expect that James and Libby advise you of all family matters. I shall therefore say 
nothing about them. For myself, I am still at my post, administering justice, in good health, 
but pretty far advanced in years, but, God willing, would like to live to see our country restored 
to peace and harmon}', our Union preserved, and our beloved flag respected wherever it floats. 

I am very respectfully 

Your affectionate Uncle 

8. Moore. 

Easton, August 15, 1864. 
Dear Nephew : 

I am pressed into the service to say something about the war, and to give you my 
opinion on the subject. Of course my opinion must be founded on reports either official or 
supposed reliable. Now the facts are, that from all the information we have, the rebellion is 
reduced to two armies, one at Richmond and Petersburg, the other at Atlanta, both of which 
are closely watched. The defeat or capture of either is fatal to the enemy, for they have brought 
their whole strength into the field, whilst ours is not yet fully developed. The last call of 
500,000 men, which will produce all and more than the Government requires, has depressed 
them very much. This information I bad from General Heckman, who has lately been ex- 
changed at Charleston, in a conversation with him yesterday. He is a native of Easton, a 
gallant boy, was out in the Mexican War, commanded a Company of three months men at the 
outbreak of the rebellion, was appointed Major of the 9th New Jersey, promoted for gallantry 
to the command of the Regiment, and finally received a star as Brigadier General, was captured 
in a fog at Bermuda Hundred, under Butler, sent to Libby, thence to Charleston, to be placed 
under the fire of our guns, with other ofticers, and upon our Government following suit and 
placing an equal number of Rebel Officers in the same position, an exchange was effected. He 
further states that there is a strong Union feeling, and desire for our success, even in Charles- 
ton, but it is necessarily suppressed, the government being a military despotism. They force 
their men into the service without pay, and levy on the property of the citizen whenever wanted 
for public use without even receipting for it. Their men, at least many of them, have not been 
paid for the last eighteen months. General Seymour, who was a Lieutenant at the bombard- 
ment of Fort Sumpter, and stationed there for some time under Anderson, had an extensive 
acquaintance at Charleston, and thro' him all the Officers obtained extensive private informa- 
tion, which, with the facts we have a full knowledge of, induces the idea and belief that the re- 
bellion is about played out, if no serious disaster should happen to Grant or Sherman's Armies 
who are still successful. You will probably see the account of the Rebel raid into Pennsylvania 
and the wanton destruction by fire of the beautiful town of Chambersburg. Two hundred and 
fifty houses, the heart of the place was destroyed, and some fifteen hundred citizens left house- 
less, without even a change of apparel, having nothing but what they had on. There's 
Southern chivalrv for you, Fred ! if you have a chance, blow them all to Hades. We are all 
awaiting the news from Mobile. Farragut has such a knack of gutting the rebels out, that we 
expect there will be nothing left of them bv the time he gets thro' with them. The Richmond 
papers acknowledge the loss of three out of four of their iron clads, one of which we captured, 
ready for use. By the way, if our army had been conducted with the same skill displayed by 



GENEALOGY 283 

our naval officers, the war would have been ended long since ; but discipline on shore was a new 
thing, and our men and officers had all to learn, like Frederick the Great, from the enemy ; 
and fight on, until they discovered they could beat them man for man, and outgeneral the best 
of their able generals. I, however, have never been deceived in the rebellion. I was sure 
there would be hard fighting; for both are Americans and " when Greek meets Greek, then 
comes the tug of war" — and it has turned out so. I did not believe in putting an end to the 
war in "thirty," "sixty" or "ninety days" — but believed religiously that it would put an end 
to slavery on this continent forever — and further that the Almighty has raised up "Old Abe," 
from a rail splitter and Mississippi boatman to the Presidency for the purpose, just as he raised 
up Moses to lead the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. And I further believe that 
God has not raised up this nation, and blessed it with ci\-il and religious liberty, made it an 
asylum for the oppressed of all nations, placed it under His own control, without Prince or 
Potentate, Emperor or Pope, to intervene between Him and us, will permit its destruction, by 
division, but hold it one and indivisible, as a beacon light to the oppressed of all nations, in- 
viting them to self government, and ci\'il and religious liberty. Depend upon it our Union 
will be restored, in His own good time ; there will not be a slave on the continent ; all men will 
be free, and our countrj' will be purified, restored, and strengthened — the greatest power under 
the canopy of Heaven ! 

Yours &c

Elizabeth Barnes Wamsley' was the daughter of James Wamsley' 
and his wife Sarah Potts. 

James Wamsley^ was born September 29, 17S0, in County Fermanagh, 
Ireland. He was a member of the Church of England, came to Philadelphia, 
and later settled at Mansfield, Hunterdon County, N. J. He there joined the 
Methodist Episcopal Church, and became a licen.sed exhorter. He was a man of 
intellect. He died in 1863 or 1S65. His father was financial agent of Lord Cole 
in Ireland. 

Sarah Potts' married James Wamsley' in iSio, when in her eighteenth 
year. She was born May 23, 1792 at Kingwood, N. J., died May 26, 1883 at 
Tobyhanua, Penna., and was buried at Washington, N. J. She was the daughter 
of Joseph Potts* and his wife Sarab Mott^. An old sampler which belonged to 
Sarah Potts Wamsley, iu the possession of the compiler, has initials S. M., E. 
M., W. M., R. M., G. M., L. M. for Solomon Mott, Elizabeth Mott, William 
Mott, Ruth Mott, Gershom Mott, Lucy Mott. 

Joseph Potts* and his wife Sarah Mott were licensed* to marry June 2, 
1781. After their marriage they removed from Kingwood, N. J., to Brass Castle 
in (now) Warren County, N. J. He was a farmer and owned a tannery. He 
died in 1823; his will is dated February 21, 1820 and was proved July 11, 1823. f 
He left eight children. He was the son of John Potts' and his wife Mercy King. 
Joseph Potts and his family were among the founders of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church of Washington, N. J., the first church in Warren County, 1824. 

John PottS^ owned and lived on a farm at Kingwood, N. J. He was a 
neighbor of Daniel Potts, a native of Bristol Township, Penna. In 1797, he went 
on the refunding bond of Rebecca (Emley) Potts, widow of Daniel. His pocket- 
book, still in existence, has worked on it in silk, "John Potts 1768." Thomas 
Maxwell Potts, an authority on the genealogy of the numerous families of the 
name Potts, thinks that he was the son of Thomas Potts^ Jr., and his wife 
Susanna . 

Thomas Potts', Jr., of Bristol Township, Philadelphia County, was born 

17 1 3 and died 1751. He married, iu 1732, Susaaaa , who after his death 

married Job Comptonj.

Thomas Potts\ Senr., the father of Thomas', Jr., was called " Thomas 
Potts, Miller," " Thomas Potts, the Quaker Preacher. " He was in Pennsylvania 
in i6S6,married Jud/fA Smith in 171 2, and died in 17 19. His widow married Thomas 
Sharp and died in 1749. Thomas was the only son. He was a resident of Bristol 
Township, Philadelphia County. He seems to have come to Pennsylvania, from 
Wales, it is supposed from Llangirrig or Llanidloes, in Montgomeryshire. He 
was a miller by occupation, and was a party to numerous land conveyances, 
owning lands and mills in Bristol Township and in New Jersey. In 9 mo. 11, 
1686 he was witness to the marriage of John Austin and Jane Potts ; 10 mo. 5, 
1692 he buys 150 acres on the west bank of the Schuylkill from John Blunstenalty . 
2 mo. 2, 1695 sells the same to David Hugh ; he built two water corn mills on a 
branch of Frankford Creek not far from Germantown, known as " Potts' s Mills ;" 
4 mo. 28, 1699 he bought 100 acres in Bristol Township of Jacob Shumaker ; 
Sept. 6, 1705 he bought another tract from the same ; 29, gber, 1705 Herfert 
Papen of Germantown conv^eys land to Thomas Potts, Sen. and others; 1706 he 
sells one fourth interest in Potts' s Mills, etc., to Everard Bolton ; other transac- 
tions with George Gray ; Oct. 2, 1707 he conveys his interest to the others, in the 
transaction of 29, 9ber 1705 ; 12 mo. 20, 1709 he and David Potts witnesses the 
will of William Howell of Cheltenham Township; Oct. 8, 171 1 the same tract 
conveyed to Thomas Potts, Sr., and others, trustees of Friends of Meeting House 
lot: Dec. 26, 1717 bought 100 acres of William Dilworth ; Sept. 2, 1718 buys two 
small tracts of Joshua Fincher ; he and wife Judith deed lot to Joshua Fincher. 

He was a member of the Society of Friends and attached to the German- 
town Preparative Meeting, which was under the care of the Abington Monthly 
Meeting. From the minutes of Abington Monthly Meeting and other sources, 
it appears that, from about 1705 to the end of his life, he devoted himself very 
largely to the duties of a public Friend or religious minister, traveling and visiting 
Friends in the service of Truth, in Maryland, Virginia, New England, the West 
Indies, England, Ireland, and other places. He was undoubtedly a man of rare 
worth and exemplary character. William Penn calls him "honest Thomas 
Potts," and an estimate of his character may be gathered from the Penn and 
Logan Correspondence*. 

Sarah Mott\f the wife of Joseph Potts*, was born in Kingwood, N. J., the 
daughter of Solomon Mott* and his wife Elizabeth Emley. 

* came from the Province of New Yorkt 
. and bought land in Kingwood, near 
Quakertown, May 14, 1760, presumably 
about the time of his marriage. He and Elizabeth Emley were witnesses, at the 
marriage of Benjamin Cauby, 5, 10, i752.§ Solomon and Elizabeth Mott 
witnessed the marriage of Samuel Large and Elizabeth Myers, November 18, 
1762. Dr. Race has a receipt from Dr. Aaron Forman, reading, "May 11, 1771, 
received of Mr. John Emley in behalf of Solomon Mott five pounds ten shillings 
in full by me, April 7, 26, 1774." Dr. James Willson has charges in his day 
book against Solomon "Moot." Dr. Race has a deed, dated January i, 1797, 
from Rebecca Potts to Joseph King, for 2093-^ acres, which she inherited from 
her brother, John Emley, and which he had bought March i, 1791, of Solomon

Elias Doughty', the father of Jacob Dough ty^ was born about 1635 and 
died about 1690. His name is on the list of residents of Newtown, 1655-6. 
February 16, 1666, he was one of the patentees of Flushing, also March 14, 1685. 
About 1658, he married Sarah^ — ,who died in 1726. In 1672, he was appointed

Charles, Elias, Jacob, Benj.imin and William not of age. In the Census of 
Flushing, 1698, "Sarah Doughty, sons Benjamin and William, servant Sarah and 
Negros Okee and Mary" appear. 

Rev. Francis Doughty\ the iatheroi Elias Doughty^ is said to have been 
a member of the family of Doughtys or Doutys, of Escher, in Surry, and Boston, 
in Lincolnshire, England. 1+ He was the son of a brewer in Bristol, England, and 
the brother-in-law of Governor Stone, of Maryland. t| Francis Doughty, sometime 
Vicar of Sodbury, was silenced for non-conformity. §§ He settled at Cohassit, or 
Taunton, Mass., in 1639, from which place and province he was driven by perse- 
cution for saying that "Abraham's children should have been baptized." He 
sought refuge with his wife and children in the Island of Aquetneck, now Rhode 
Island, in Narragansett Bay. In 1641, he removed to Long Island "in order to 
enjoy freedom of conscience" under the Dutch. He was the predecessor of Rev. 
John Moore at Hempstead. In March 28, 1642, Director- General Kieft issued 
the following patent for 13,332 acres at Mespat, which embraced nearly the whole 
of the town of Newtown.

Known, that We have given and grante<l, as by these presents We do give and grant, unto 
Francis Doughty, and associates, their heirs and assigns, in real, actual, and perpetual posses- 
sion, all and every that certain parcel of land situate on Long Island, in this province, with 
the pastures and whatever else it includes, containing, in superfices, six thousand sis hundred 
and sixty-six Dutch acres, or thereabouts, comprehended within four right lines, each two 
thousand Dutch perches long, the first whereof extends from the east angle of Hans Hanssen's 
meadow, dividing, according to the creek, the marsh into two unequal parts, unto the planta- 
tion of Richard Brulnall, and thence proceeds towards the north-east, passing through the 
middle of the fresh marsh to the rivulet surrounding the lands of Henry the Farmer, and 
following the same even to its mouth; the other line taking its origin from thence, bends 
towards the south-east, according to the main bank, going along the same unto the other 
creek, following the course of which from its mouth, until it attains the eastern extremity of 
the said marsh ( from whence the aforesaid creek arises), thence turns again towards the south- 
east, until it has gained the length of two thousand Dutch perches; the third line taking its 
rise from the end of the latter, tends towards the west, of an equal length with the others; 
finallv, the fourth running from the last-mentioned point towards the north-west, terminates 
at the above-mentioned eastern angle of Hans Hanssen's meadow, at which angle a large stone 
is erected for the greater certainty of the boundaries. 

With power to establish in the aforesaid tract a town or towns; to erect a church or 
churches; to exercise the Reformed Christian religion and Church discipline which they pro- 
fess; also to administer of right, high, low, and middle jurisdiction, to decide civil suits, not 
exceeding fiftj' Dutch florins; to impose definitively, and without appeal, in criminal matters,

hunting, fowling, fishing, and of trading, according to the immunities granted, and to be 
granted, to the colonists of the province, without any exception : 

Wherefore the aforesaid F. Doughty and his associates, their heirs and assigns, shall 
be obligated, so long as they are in possession of the above-mentioned lands, to acknowledge 
the aforesaid Lords for their sovereign Lords and Patroons; to pay, after the lapse often )-ears, 
the tenth part of the produce of the land, whether cultivated with the plough, hoe, or other- 
wise; orchards and kitchen-gardens, not exceeding one Dutch acre, excepted; Finally, to use 
no other standard than that of Holland; and so as to avoid confusion, to use Dutch weights, the 
Dutch ell and all other Dutch measures. All which we promise, under the foregoing condi-

virtue of the commission and supreme authority granted to us by the Most Mighty Prince of 
Orange, Governor of the United Belgic Provinces. In testimony whereof we have subscribed 
these presents with our own hand, and caused them to be countersigned by the Secretan.- of

In 1643, after less than a year of existence of the new settlement, it was de- 
stroyed by the Indians in retaliation for the unjust attack made upon them by 
Director Kieft. During this year Mr. Doughty officiated as pastor. The settlers 
were driven to New Amsterdam where he continued his ministrations. He lost 
all by this colonizing venture. After the return of peace he with others returned 
to the desolate settlement where he remained for six months, after which he came 
to New Amsterdam and remained for several years. He preached to the English 
in the church within Fort Amsterdam. An unfortunate misunderstanding with 
his fellow patentees resulted in a prolonged legal contest which in April 1647 was 
decided against him. He appealed from the decision of Director Kieft who denied 
the right, fined him ten dollars and imprisoned him for twent3'-four hours. The 
following are extracts from the "Remonstrance of the Deputies from New Nether- 
land, July 28, 1649. The administration of Director Kieft in particular." The 
story is best told by the original documents.!

At this point we are met by one Franciscus Douthy, an English clergyman here, and 
one Arnoldus van Hardenbergh, a free merchant, also of this place; but as this will probably 
come before your High Mightinesses in full session, in the cases in which they appear, we shall 
give merely a summary of them. This clergyman, Franciscus Douthy, came'to New England 
at the commencement of the troubles in England, in order to escape them, and found that he 
had got out of the frying pan into the fire. He betook himself, in consequence, under the pro- 
tection of the Netherlanders, in order that he may, according to the Dutch reformation, enjoy 
freedom of conscience, which he unexpectedly missed in New England; and the Director 
granted and conveyed to him an absolute patent, with manorial privileges. He added some 
families now to his settlement, in the course of one year; but the war breaking out, thev were 
all driven off their lands, with the loss of some people, and the destruction of many cattle, of 
almost all their houses, and whatever they had; they returned a while after that, and having 
consumed more than they knew how to obtain, they came to the Manathans, whither all the 
refugees at that time fled, and Master Douthy was minister there. After the flame of war had 
died away, and peace had been concluded, in such a manner, however, that no one had much 
reliance on it, some returned again to their land. The Director would fain see this man go 
back to his land, in order that every thing should have the appearance of being arranged, but 
as peace was doubtful, and Master Douthy had no means to begin with, he was not in a hurry; 
he went, however, sometime after, and resided there half a year, but he again removed, as it was 
seized; for in the hope that some others would establish a village there, a suit was instituted 
against the Minister, and carried so far, that the land was confiscated. Master Douthy finding 
himself aggrieved, appealed from the judgment. The Director answered, there was no appeal 
from his decision which must be final, and in consequence of his remark, sentenced the Minis- 
ter to be imprisoned for the space of 24 hours, and then pay 25 guilders. We have always 
considered this act tyrannical, and regarded it as an instance of sovereignty. Arnoldus van 
Hardenburgh's case resembles this very much in its result, for after Seger Theunisse had been 
murdered by the Indians, at the Beeregat, and the yacht had returned to the Manathans, the 
Director and Council appointed Arnoldus van Hardenburgh and two others, curators of the 
estate, and the yacht was searched. And in it was found some property which had not been 
entered, wherefore the Fiscal summoned the curators into court, and claimed that the property 
was forfeited to the Company. The curators opposed it, and gave Hardenberch charge of the 
suit, who after some proceedings, was cast. .\s he now found himself aggrieved as agent for 
the general owners, he appealed to such judges as the owners would elect. Then the game was 
repeated; it was a high crime; the Fiscal made great pretence and a judgment was pronounced, 
the contents whereof were as follows : "Having seen the written demand of Fiscal Van der Hoei- 
kens of and against Arnoldus van Hardenburch, and that in relation to the appeal from our 
judgment, dated 2Sth April last, as appears by the signature of the above named A. van Harden- 
berch, from which judgment no appeal can lie. as the commission of their High Mightinesses 
the Lords States General and his Highness of Orange, proves to him; therefore the Director Gen- 
eral and Council of New Netherland, regarding the dangerous consequences which tend to the 
injur\- of the supreme authority of the magistracy of this country, condemn the aforesaid Arnoldus 
van Hardenberch in the fine of 25 guilders, payable immediately, or to be imprisoned until the 
fine be paid, as an example to others." If the lion be now known by his paw, it can be seen 
that these people make nothing of the name of your High Mightinesses, His Highness of 
Orange, the honor of the magistracy, and have used the words, dangerous consequences, an ex- 
ample to others and more of the like description, in order to play oif their own personages 
therewith. We have, therefore, placed this act alongside of that perpetrated against the Min- 
ister Douthy; and many more such pieces, or similar ones, are to be found in the record, if the 
entries be not altered, which is gravely suspected, as alterations have been sometimes seen in 
them. It is, then, suiBciently apparent, that prettj' much every thing has gone amiss, and 
herewith shall we quit the subject, and pass on to Director Stuyvesant's administration, with a 
word, however, first regarding the clause sinisterly introduced into the patents, as the sequel 
will enable one easilj- to determine. For by the patents absolute conveyance was granted to 
the people who then thought all was safe, and that they were masters of what they possessed. 
The patents were next called in, on pretence that something had been forgotten in them; but it 
was not so, only 'twas imagined that something had been surrendered in the grant, and there- 
fore a clause was added to the patents, which were signed anew; this conflicts directly with the 
patent, so that without distorting its tenor in the least, there is now a contradiction in one and 
the same patent; for the old deeds read thus : "And they enter on the land and valleys which 
appertain thereunto of old." And the clause says. No valley to be used before the Company; 
which can easily use all of it and have their competency. Another clause is usually inserted in 
the patents, which is objected to by every one, to wit : That they must be subject to all 
burthens which are already, or shall hereafter be imposed. That can be carried out ad in- 
finitum, and it has already been enforced against divers inhabitants, and has discouraged others 
from undertaking anything on such conditions. 

In the beginning, also, when Director Kieft was still here, the English Clergyman re- 
quested permission to depart to the Islands or to Netherland, as he had lived and labored a long 
while without proper maintenance, and as his land was now confiscated ; but he always received 
an unfavorable answer and was threatened with this and that. Finally, it came to pass that he 
may depart on condition of promising under his hand that, wherever he should go, he would 
not mention, nor complain of the manner he was treated here in New Netherland by Director 
Kieft or Stuyvesant. This the man himself declares. Mr. Dinklagen and Commander Looper, 
who were then members of the Council, also vouch for its truth. If the Directors can now jus- 



292 GENEALOGY 

tify it to their own consciences, 'tis a wonder what they will then do with such certificates; and 
manv other things of a similar character have occurred, but very secretly. 

The unjust proceedings of the Directors against Francis Douthey, the Minister, who, 
because he appealed from Kieft's unrighteous sentence, was put in prison, and obliged to pay a 
fine of 25 guilders before he could be set at liberty.* 

Francis Douthey, an English Clergyman, was subjected to an utterly unjust condition 
before he was allowed to depart — never to mention how illegally he had been treated in New 
Netherland ; and because he would not execute an obligation to that effect, he would not be 
permitted to leave, t 

Francis Douthey being indebted to the Company about eleven hundred guilders, peti- 
tioned, in New Netherland, for permission to depart. The Director and Council are willing to 
allow him to do so, but think they ought first of all be paid; his incapacity so to do, was the 
reason why he was not allowed to depart, and it must be proved that the Director required from 
him any obligation under his hand.J 

To all the preceding accusations and the remonstrance from New Nether- 
land, November 29, 1650, Secretary Van Teinhoveu answers: 

Francis Douthay, Adriaeu van der Donck's father-in-law, and an English Minister, was 
granted a colonic at Mespacht, not for himself alone as Patroon, but for him and his associates 
whose Agent he was, and who at the time were residing at Rhode Island and at Cahanock and 
other places. Mr. Smith was one of the leaders of these people, for said Minister had scarcely 
any means of himself to build a hut, let alone to plant a colonic at his own expense. He was 
merely to be employed as a clergyman by his associates who were to prepare a bouwerie for him 
in that Colonie, in returu for which he should discharge the duty of preacher amougthem, and 
live on the proceeds of the bouwerie. 

Coming to live at the Manhatans during the war, he was permitted to officiate as Min- 
ister for the English in and around that place, who were bound to maintain him without either 
the Director or Company being liable to any charge therefor. And as the English did not 
afford him a sufficient support, two collections were taken up among the Dutch and English, on 
which he lived at the Manhatans. 

The Mespacht Colonie was never confiscated ; that is proved by the actual residence on 
it of the owners who had au interest in it as well as Douthey; but as the latter wished to ob- 
struct its settlement and to permit no one to build in the colonie unless on paying him a certain 
sum down for each morgen of land, and a j-early sum in addition in the nature of ground rent, 
and endeavored thus to convert it into a domain, against which those interested in the Colonie, 
especiallv Mr. Smith, complained, the Director and Council finally concluded that the copart- 
ners should enter on their property, and the bouwerie and lands in the possession of Douthay 
be reserved to him, so that he hath suffered no injury or loss thereb)-. This I could prove, were 
it not that the documents are in New Netherland and not here. 

I have treated already of the appeal. No clauses conflicting with the Exemptions are 
inserted in the patents; but the phrase — "noch te beramen" (hereafter to be imposed) can be 
omitted from them, if found objectionable. § 

Francis Douthey, the English minister, hath never been employed by the Company 
wherefore it owes him nothing; but his English congregation is bound to pay him, as can be 
proved in New Netherland. The Company has advanced to the said minister from time to time, 
in goods and necessaries, to the amount of about fl. iioo, as the colonial account books might 
show; this he has not yet paid, and he complains because he is unwilling to pay. I know not 
whether the Director hath required a promise from Douthey.** 

Rev. Francis then asked for permission to go to the West Indies or the 
Netherlands, bnt the Director declined to give his consent. In this year, 1647, 
he accepted a call to Flushing, L. I., and thus became its first minister. Here 
again, after a year or two, he fell into trouble for preaching against the govern- 
ment, and Capt. John Underhill locked the door of the church against him. He 
now made application to leave the country, and obtained permission only upon 
condition of not mentioning the ill treatment he had received from Directors 
Kieft and Stuyvesant. In 1648 or 1649, he departed for the English Virginias. 
He became the Rector of Sittingbourne Parish, in Virginia. While officiating 
here he baptized, in 1659, the eldest son of John Washington, grandfather of

George Washington.* The following extract from the Journal of the Dutch Em- 
bassy to Maryland, 1659, shows that he was in Maryland : 

(1659) October '-/j, Sunday. Accompanied Mr. Overzee to Secretary Calvert's to 
dinner, where Mr. Doughty, the ^linister accidentally called. After the cloth was removed, 
talked about his charts or maps of the country, of which he laid on the table two that were en- 
graved and one in manuscript. One was printed at Amsterdam, by direction of Captain Smith, 
the first discoverer of the Great bay of Chesapeake, or Virginia ; the second appeared also to be 
printed at Amsterdam, at the time of Lord Balthamoor's patent; we know not by whom or 
where the manuscript one was drawn. All differed, one from the other. He wished to prove 
from them the extent of Lord Balthamoor's boundaries, but we, on the contrary, showed and 
maintained that if Chesapeake bay ran above, so crooked towards the northeast, they would 
come so far within our line. To this, he asked how could that be, for the English first discov- 
ered and possessed all these parts. Thereunto, we answered that the Dutch were three years 
earlier in our parts than they in theirs. To which he replied, that they took their beginning 
from Sir Walter Raleigh ; and we said we derive our origin from the King of Spain. But, he 
retorted, you were not yet a free and independent nation. He was then told that the King of 
Spain was, at the time of the discovery of America, our King, and we were as nmch his vassals 
and subjects as they were the subjects of their King or Republic of England, but afterwards, 
when we were obliged to take up arms, and achieved our liberty, the King of Spain conveyed 
over, and to, us, in full propriety, by lawful right and title, all his own and other conquered 
lands in Europe and America. "To this, he said that the King of Spain was indeed, in the AVest 
Indies, but not so far to the north, and that the English were the first discoverers. And we 
again obser\-ed that the contrarv could be proved from Spanish journals and chronicles, and 
also that even the French had, in the year 1524, been before them in these parts. Lastly, being 
half angrv, he demanded whether the English had not been the first in Delaware bay, for it ob- 
tained its name from them. And we answered. No ; that the Dutch had been the first in the 
river, long before Lord Delaware ever came to Virginia, and we again asked : What right had the 
Kings of Spain, France or England, more than the Hollanders or the Dutch, to the New World 
— America? But these and such like discourses, running higher and higher, were left off; he 
said he had invited us as a welcome to the country, and thenceforward we conversed on other 
subjects, and parted from one another with expressions of friendship, t

mulgated the Duke's Laws. J

2268. Martha Moore' (Samuel", Samuer, Capt. John', Nathaniel', Capt. 
Samuel', Rev. John') and ReV. EdWard ToWnsend. 

Martha Moore's religious life was of a deeply spiritual character. She 
combined a poetic nature with a thoroughly practical example. The Creator and 
religion were to her the foundation, corner-stone, and capstone of existence. In 
all her Christian experience she was never heard to express a doubt or fear as to 
the providences of God. When symptoms of an incurable maladj' were revealed 
to her by the late Dr. Agnew, with the confidence and simplicity of a child she 
set about arranging temporal matters for the end which was inevitably near. 
There was no need for a spiritual preparation save in the closer communion with 
the God whom for over forty j'ears she had served. The strong light of a Chris- 
tian life dispelled the shadows and illumined the weary hours when disease was 
making its terrible inroads. Of a timid and shrinking nature, she developed, 
when brought in contact with the world or when .stern uecessit)- called it forth, a 
marvelous strength. Hers were not wear}- hands which were folded in the long 
rest; only those who are left know the eager, tireless heart and mind which guided 
husband and children over the rugged places, smoothed the sick pillow, or poured 
upon aching hearts the balm of a deep sympathy. To her there was always a 
bright side to every sorrow. Many remember her for the cheery smile which 
beamed through what was to them impenetrable shadow which surrounded them 
and encouraged them to take heart of grace. Her mind was a storehouse of 
scriptural passages, but as the death angel hovered lower and j-et lower over the 
household, she repeated more frequently than all else Psalm cxxi, while her 
favorite hymn, "How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord," passed her lips 
again and again in triumphant expression. "How firm a foundation," tested in 
the joyousness and through the tender, loving, care-burdened years of wifehood 
and motherhood, then when the shadows of life commenced to lengthen she laid 
aside all earthly ties without a murmur and stepped out into the eteruitj' of God 
with a halo of unutterable glory about her face. Who shall say what scenes were 
revealed to her mortal vision as the Builder of the "firm foundation" called back 
to heaven this saint of the Lord'''. 

Edward Townsend was born at Royal Oak, Maryland. He was a minister 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church and had various charges in Pennsylvania, 
Maryland and Delaware. He was a member of the Philadelphia Conference.

Rachel Phillips Flannery' was the daughter of Rev. James Flannery^ who 
was born in Ireland, January 11, 1811, died July 11, 1870, at Coventryville, 
Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Margarett Hubbert Macdonald, the grand- 
daughter of Michael Flanuery' and his wife Bridget O'Mara, who came from Tip- 
perary County, Ireland, with their family in 1814. He settled at Wilmington, Del. 
He was drowned in a sail boat. His children were Mary, James, William and 
perhaps others. After his death his family was scattered. They were Roman 
Catholics and James was intended for the priesthood. 

In the summer of 1830, in the solitude of his chamber, he obtained the 
grace of pardon. He immediately connected him.self with St. John's M. E. Church 
in the city of Philadelphia, where he then resided. Such was the Christian zeal, 
and such the consistent piet}^ exhibited by this young disciple of Jesus, that he soon 
made a profound impression in the Church of his fellowship, and exerted a re- 
formatory and saving influence over his old companions. 

In the spring of 1835, he was licensed to preach, and was forthwith em- 
ployed by the Presiding Elder of the North Philadelphia District. He was a con- 
stant reader, an independent thinker, a man of general intelligence, and a most 
excellent preacher, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing 
the word of truth. His sermons were well studied and carefully prepared, abound- 
ing with apt and forcible illustrations, and, being delivered in his earnest and 
artless manner, were always interesting, instructive, and profitable. 

Brother Flaunery was a genial companion, an accomplished gentleman, a 
firm and reliable friend, and possessed in a high degree the ornament of a meek 
and quiet spirit. Who ever doubted the sincerity and piety of James Flannery? 
Or who ever heard him make an invidious or disparaging remark of any of his 
brethren ? 

But it was in the home circle, among loved and cherished friends, and 
where he was recognized as husband and father, that his numerous and various 
excellences shone forth with the greatest luster. It was in the bosom of his own 
dear family, and where he was best known, that he was most highly appreciated, 
and where his loss will be felt and mourned for years to come. 

Brother Flannery was an effective member of the Philadelphia Annual 
Conference for thirty-four consecutive years, during which period he occupied and 
cultivated many interesting fields of labor. Such was his faithfulness as a pastor,

such his success in leading inquirers to Christ, and such his sympathy aud affec- 
tion for the people committed to his care, that he was generally beloved and re- 
vered, and his memory will be as ointment poured forth. 

His general health was good during the whole of his ministerial life, so 
that his sudden removal was the more sad and mysterious. On Sunday, the loth 
day of July, he preached his last sermons from Romans viii, 38, 39, and Psalm 
cx\n, 7. On the following Monday he was in his usual health, workiug in his 
garden during the afternoon of the day; and in the evening with his excellent 
wife, made some pastoral calls. They returned to the parsonage about 10 o'clock, 
when he was unusually talkative and cheerful. He retired to rest, and about 11 
o'clock gave some indications of indisposition, and in a few moments quietly 
breathed his last. "He was not, for God took him." But he " was a good man, 
and full of the Holy Ghost and faith," and with his compeers, Hagauy, M'Cliu- 
tock, and Nadal, realized that sudden death was sudden glory; 

His body with his charge laid down, 
Aud ceased at once to work and live. 

On the ensuing Friday a very large concourse of his people and friends 
thronged the church at Coventryville to participate in the funeral obsequies, 
sorrowing most of all that thej- should see his face no more on earth. An appro- 
priate and impressive sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Castle, his Presiding 
Elder, from Job xiv, 10, who was assisted in the services by Rev. S. W. Kurtz, 
Rev. I. Dyson, and the writer. His remains were then conveyed to Pottstown 
Cemetery for interment. His estimable and deeply afflicted family may rest assured 
that they have the sympathies and prayers of the entire Church. =^= 

James Flannery was ordained Deacon by Bishop Beverh- Waugh at Wil- 
mington, Del., April 8, 1838 and Elder April 5, 1840 at Philadelphia by the same 
Bishop. In 1836 he was sent to Manayunk and Norristown; 1836-7, to Hadding- 
ton; 1838-9, Orwigsburg and Hamburg; 1840-1, Stroudsburg; 1842-3, Pottstown

\'illage Green, Pa.; Philadelphia; Agent of the Tract Society for three years 
Phoenixville, Pa.; Coventryville. During the troublous times preceding and 
during the Civil War, he was an ardent patriot defending the cause of the Govern- 
ment at all times. On October i, 1864, at Philadelphia, he was naturalized in 
order that he might cast his vote for President Lincoln. 

Margarett Hubbert Macdonald^ born in Philadelphia, October 15, 1S14, 
married April 14, 1S38, died January 24, 1899, in Philadelphia, buried in the 
family plot at Pottstow-n, Pennsylvania, was the daughter of John Macdonald'' 
and his wife Elizabeth Hubbert. She was ten years old when Lafayette returned 
to America and gives her recollections as follows : 

" I remember seeing Lafayette at Sixth and Arch Streets in an open car- 
riage — then later, in the State House yard. He stood there and the school chil- 
dren passed before him in line. I remember hearing some one say, as I stood on 
a platform that was on Arch Street where I saw him first, ' I wonder if he is a 
spy.' I remember the arches on the streets where he was to pass, and I think 
they were allowed to remain in the streets a long time. I think he stood up in 
the carriage sometimes to respond to the greetings of the people. I am quite sure 
I saw him on different days — once on the street and another day in the State 
House yard. I think there must have been a trades display, for I remember the 
time I saw him on the street there was a large house in the parade with a large 
beef on the top of it, and this was allowed to stand in the yard of one of the 
neighbors, and the children used to play in it. I cannot remember how long it 
was between the times I saw him." 

It was our great privilege and pleasure to form her acquaintance in the 
year 1850, and from that time the bonds of affectionate regard were strengthened. 
She survived her husband for nearly thirty years, and leaves three daughters to

mourn her departure, all of whom were loving and true. Her unmairied daugh- 
ter was her companion, and she never tired in her devotion to one who required 
almost her constant care. Though very feeble and trembling under the weight of 
years and bodily infirmities, she, accompanied by this daughter, found her way 
with regularity to the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, of which both were 
highly honored members. One of the most touching scenes on which our eyes ever 
rested, was that of the many friends, who, after the benediction was pronounced, 
gathered about this aged pilgrim, extending to her the sweetest courtesies and 
congratulations. All were delighted in showing their reverence and love, for she 
was one of the meekest and most attractive Christians we ever knew. Her 
gentleness, patience and modesty won all hearts. She beautifully exemplified 
the principles of our holy religion by a perfection of faith and practice which 
made her a pattern of piety. " Age sat with decent grace upon her visage and 
worthy became her silver locks. She wore the marks of many years well spent, 
of virtue, truth well tried, and wise experience." Rev. Dr. Martin, her pastor, 
and the Rev. John Stringer, of Pottstown, officiated at the funeral. *

" May, 1777, at Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania enlisted as a private and be-

Jvily 6, 1 781 ; Yorktown, October, 1781. 

His granddaughter (Mrs. Flannery) says: I remember how my grand- 
father used to stand before Washington's picture, and say with so much feeling 
" God bless his memory," and how excited he would get in talking over the war. 
He was a very large man, and light-complexioned. My grandmother was a 
little woman who dressed in a short gown and petticoat and wore a little sheer 
cap that fastened under her chin with tabs. These caps had always to be clapped 
dry to make them clear. My grandfather used to call my grandmother "My 
Peggy." 

Margarett Hubbert Macdonald was the granddaughter of William Mac- 
donald', born in the Highlands of Scotland, of that clan which " is by every rule 
of antiquity, power and numbers entitled to be spoken of before any other, "| and 
his wife Elizabeth Shocoy.§ He lived in Germantown, Pennsylvania. During 
the epidemic of yellow fever in 1798, he went to his place of business, 4th and 
Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, and never returned. It is supposed that he died 
of yellow fever and was buried in Potter's Field in Washington Square. It is 
thought that he was never naturalized.

Mary Armitage" was the daughter of Reuben", born in England, a "strong 
pillar" of the Pennington Church, died 17S3, the granddaughter of Enoch Armi- 
tage', born November 27, 1677, at Ligeate, in Kirk Burton Parish, in the West 
Riding of Yorkshire, England, who set sail from Liverpool, March 14, 1719, ar- 
rived at New York May 30th, and later took up his residence on a farm, a mile 
northeast of Pennington, in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. In about two years 
after his arrival he was chosen clerk of the Township, and probably about the 
same time was appointed au elder of the Presbyterian Charch. He attended the 
sessions of the Synod of Philadelphia, in 1722, 1723, and 1725. His name is 
found in the minutes of the mother Presbytery and occurs last in the Synodical 
Records of 1737. In the conflict in the Presbyterian Church, which issued in the 
schism of 1741, he, Thomas Burroughs, ancestor of Rev. George Burrowes, D.D., 
Edward Hart, father of John Hart, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, 
1776, and Timothy Baker were prominent supporters of the " old side." The 
erection of the first church building in Pennington is ascribed in large part to the 
Zealand liberality of Mr. Armitage. His old Bible, printed in 1671, is still in

GENEALOG V 



In no one instance, perhaps, was Washington's influence with the army so strikingly 
exemplified as in his attack on the enemy at Trenton. O'er and o'er have I listened with in- 
tense anxiety, in the day of my boyhood, whilst my now departed sire, who fought and bled 
on that proud field, recited with thrilling interest, all that related to the enterprise. " It was on 
a December's night," would he say, " when our little heart-broken army halted on the banks of 
the Delaware. That night was dark, cheerless, tempestuous, and bore a strong resemblance to 
our country's fortune ! It seemed as if Heaven and earth had conspired for our destruction. 
The clouds lowered— darkness and the storm came on apace. The snow and hail descended, 
beating with unmitigated violence upon the supperless, half-clad, shivering soldiers ; and in the 
roarings of the flood and the wailings of the storm was heard by fancy's ear the knell of our 
hopes and the dirge of liberty ! The impetuous river was filled with floating ice. An attempt 
to cross it, at that time, and under such circumstances, seemed a desperate enterprise, yet it 
was undertaken and, thanks be to God and Washington, was accomplished. 

" From where we landed on the Jersey shore, to Trenton, was about nine miles, and, 
on the whole line of march, there was scarcely a word uttered, save by the officers, when gi\'ing 
some order. 'We were well-nigh exhausted,' said he, ' many of us frost-bitten, and the majority 
of us so badly shod that the blood gushed from our frozen and lacerated feet at every tread, yet 
we upbraided not, complained not, but marched steadily and firmly, though mournfully, on- 
ward, resolved to persevere to the uttermost, not for our country — our country, alas ! we had 
given up for lost — not for ourselves — life, for us, no longer wore a charm — but because such was 
the will of our beloved chief — 'twas for Washington alone, we were willing to make the sacrifice'. 
When we arrived within sight of the enem3''s encampment, we were ordered to form a line, 
when Washington reviewed us. Pale and emaciated, dispirited and exhausted, we presented 
a most unwarlike and melancholy aspect. The paternal eye of our chief was quick to discover 
the extent of our sufferings, and acknowledge them with his tears, but, suddenly checking his 
emotions, he reminded us that our country and all that we held dear was staked upon the 
issue of the coming battle. As he spoke, we gathered ourselves up and rallied our energies ; 
every man grasped his arms more firmly, and the clenched hand, and the compressed lip, and 
steadfast look, and the knit brow, told the soul's resolve. 

"Washington observed us well ; then did he exhort us, with all the fervor of his soul, 
' On yonder field to conquer, or die the death of the brave.' At that instant, the glorious sun, 
as if in prophetic token of our success, burst forth in all his splendor, bathing in liquid light the 
blue hills of Jersey. The faces which, but a few moments before, were blanched with despair, 
now glowed with martial fire and animation. Our chief, with exultation, hailed the scene ; 
then casting his doubts to the winds, and calling on the 'God of battles' and his faithful 
soldiers, led on the charge. The conflict was fierce and bloody. For more than twenty min- 
utes, not a gun was fired ; the sabre and the baj'onet did the work of destruction ; 'twas a hur- 
ricane of fire, and steel, and death. 'There did we stand,' would he say 'there did we stand, 
foot to foot and hilt to hilt, with the serried foe! and where we stood, we died or conguered.' " 

The result of that action, gentlemen, is known to you all, as are also its bearings upon 
the fortunes of America. Had defeat attended our arms at that trying crisis, our cause was lost, 
forever lost, and freedom had found a grave on the plains of Trenton! But the wisdom and 
prudence of Washington secured us the victory, and, consequently our liberty. 

How great our obligation, then, and how much it behooves us, at this time, to show our 
gratitude by erecting to his memory a monument that shall tell to after ages, not only that 
Washington was great, but that we were grateful. Let it no longer be delayed. To pause, is 
to invite defeat ; to persevere, is to insure success.

Benjamin Green^ Phebe Moore*, m. Richard Green, NathanieP, Capt. Samuel', 
Rev. John') and Frank Thomson* (Alexander', Archibald\ Alexander'). 

Frank Thomson* was of Scotch descent. His great-grandfather, Alexan- 
der Thomson, one of the first settlers in the Cumberland Valley, emigrated from 
Greenock with his wife and twelve children in 1771, and settled on a farm near 
Chambersburg, which he called Corkerhill, after the name of his ancestral 
home. Frank Thomson's father, Alexander Thomson, represented his district in 
Congress from 1824 to 1826, was President-Judge of the X\'Ith Judicial Dis- 
trict of Pennsylvania for many years, and filled a professorship in the law school 
connected with Marshall College. 

Frank Thomson's classical education was received at the Chambersburg 
Academy. He saw in the practical work of the railroad an attractive and promising 
field of action, and when seventeen years old he entered the Altoona shops of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad for instruction. A four years' course of training in this 
great school of applied science made him a mechanical engineer who could build 
a locomotive through every stage from the crude iron to the finished engine on 
the rails, while it also fitted him to operate as engineman the product of his own 
skill. 

Colonel Scott had been appointed, by President Lincoln, Assistant Secretary 
of War, and placed in charge of all matters relating to the transportation of troops 
and supplies, and he called Frank Thomson to his aid as chief assistant. Mr. 
Thomson took the field immediately, the scene of his operations being the South 
and the upper Southwest, where he constructed railroads and bridges, repaired 
those which had been damaged by the exigencies of war, and directed the trans- 
portation of troops and the forwarding of supplies to the front. The signal 
success of his efforts in this dangerous undertaking not only received fitting 
recognition from the War Department, but marked him as a railroad man of rare 
promise. At the conclusion of active hostilities in this territory he was relieved 
from military duty, and in June, 1864, was appointed Superintendent of the East- 
ern Division of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, which occupied his time until 
March, 1873. 

In March, 1873, he was made Superintendent of Motive Power of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, at Altoona. On July i, 1874, he relinquished this post 



* Condensed from N. Y. Tribune, June 6, 1899.

to become General Manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad system east of Pitts- 
burg and Erie. 

As General Manager he introduced a number of reforms in the management, 
administration and maintenance of the road. The standard track and solid road- 
bed owe their existence to his efforts, and the system of track inspection and the 
award of prizes for the best sections of track were instituted by him. The adoption 
of a superior standard of equipment, the building of picturesque stations and the 
ornamentation of grounds, the use of the block-signal system and other safety 
appliances, were all distinctive features of his management. He was also in- 
strumental in developing that high grade of discipline for which the Pennsylvania 
Railroad is noted. 

On October i, 1882, Mr. Thom.son became Second Vice-President, and on 
October 27, 1S88, was advanced to the post of First Vice-President. 

On February 3, 1897, Mr. Thomson was elected President of the Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad Company, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of George B. 
Roberts. In this office he displayed the same energy and ability which had 
always characterized him, introducing many improvements and keeping the road 
at a high standard of efficiency. 

Mr. Thomson's duties as the manager of a great railway required so much 
of his time that he was never identified with many other public institutions. A 
notable exception, however, is the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of which 
he was a director. 

The social side of Mr. Thomson's life was quite as comprehensive as its 
business counterpart. He was a patron of art, literature and music, and his 
handsome home, at Corkerhill, near Merion Station, Philadelphia, isenriched with 
many examples of artists in painting and sculpture whose works are as valuable 
as they are rare. At this mansion, with the assistance of his daughter. Miss Anne 
Thomson, he dispensed a quiet but notable hospitality, to which his wide acquaint- 
ance, both in this country and abroad, contributed the presence of many men and 
women eminent iu the higher walks of life. His famous "cabin," located in his 
grounds, uniquely decorated with the spoils of the cha.se, was often the scene of 
quiet entertainment, while his finely appointed hou.se was given over to the more 
elaborate social functions. 

Mr. Thomson was a lover of out-of-door sport. He was an ardent angler, 
a hunter of much merit, and generally selected for his holidays the season when 
he might indulge his taste for the fascination of the rod or gun. He was a mem- 
ber of the Philadelphia Club, the Union Club of New York, and other prominent 
clubs in both cities.

was the first owner of the mill on Flushing Creek, which afterward became Ra-

2962. Judge Benjamin Coe* (Abigail Woodward*, m. Benjamin Coe, 
Mary Moore^ m. Nathaniel Woodward, Capt. Samuel', Rev. John') and "Phebe 
Horton (Rev. Simon; and Elizabeth Edsall (Philip, Esq.). 

Judge Benjamin Coe** participated in the early revolutionary movements on 
Long Island. Without education, but possessed of excellent natural abilities, Mr. 
Coe rose to political eminence, enjoyed the ofiBce of judge, and a seat in the State 
Senate. He was, withal, a man of piety, and mighty in the Scriptures. At the age 
of twenty-five he became a member, and soon after an elder of the Presbyterian 
Church at Newtown, of which he continued through life a chief and most zealous 
supporter. He difed March 9, 1821, aged eighty years. 

Phebe Hortonf was the daughter of Rev. Simon Horton, who came from 
Boston to New Jersey in 1727, graduated at Princeton in 1731, settled in East 
Jersey in 1735, and removed from thence to Newtown, L. I., in 1746. Here he 
labored assiduously, and with the respect and approbation of his people, for a pe- 
riod of forty years, and died 1786, at the age of 76. It appears, by the recordsof 
the Presbyterian Church in the United States, that in 1738, the Presbytery of 
Long Island was united with that of East Jersey, and Mr. Horton, probably in 
that way, became acquainted with the leading men of this congregation, which 
opened the door for his settlement, at Newtown, at a subsequent period.

42. fLlizabeth Moore' (Capt. Samuel', Rev. John') and Judge Isaac 

Hicks' (Thomas', John^ Robert')*. 

Judge Isaac Hicks' was the son of Thomas', of Flushing, Long Island, and 
Mary Washburn, the grandson of John', of Flushing, Long Island, where he was 
granted a patent of land by Governor Kieft, October lo, 1645, a member of the 
Hempstead convention that met February 28, 1665, and Herodeas Long, of Eng- 
land, the great-grandson of Robert', who came from London to America in the 
ship Fortune, which followed the Mayflower and landed at New Plymouth, Mass., 
November 11, 1621, bringing over parts of families left behind by those who 
came in that famous vessel the year before. He was a leather-dresser from Bermon- 

desey Street, Southwark, London. His father, James Hicks, married Phebe , 

was lineally descended from Ellis Hicks, who was knighted by Edward, the Black 
Prince, on the battlefield of Poictiers, September 9, 1356, for bravery in capturing 
a set of colors from the French. Margaret Winslow, the second wife of Robert 
Hicks', with her children, came over in the ship Ann, which arrived at Plymouth 
during the latter part of June, 1622. They settled at Duxbury, Mass., but two 
of the sons, John and Stephen, came to Long Island about 1642.!

GENEALOGY 357 

Daniel Coe' was the son of Samuel' and , the grandson of Capt. 

John^ and , the great-grandson of Robert*, born 1592, who, with his 

wife and children, took ship at Ipswich, in Suffolk County, England, and came 
to America in 1634. The famih- had been located in Suffolk County. He removed 
from New England to Newtown, L. I., and settled at last at Jamaica, L. I. He 
was High Sheriff from 166910 1672!.

5. Joseph Moore' (Rev. ]ohn^) andSarah Halsey^ (Thomas', m.Mary 
, Thomas'). 

There has been a difference of opinion among genealogists as to the loca- 
tion of this son of Rev. John Moore. Riker placed him at Southampton, and the 
preponderance of later evidence seems to confirm the truth of his statement. The 
records of Southampton indicate that he was there as early as 1683, in which year 
he is on the tax list for ^83. It appears that he owned the lot occupied by John 
Moore, in 1641. He was baptized in New York, as shown by the records of the 
Dutch Church : 

" 1661, June II, John Moor, Predict Joseph, tot Middelb. in N. Nederi."§ 

He died about 1726, as is indicated by his will, which follows : 
In the Name of God, Amen.

3051. Daniel Moore', Jr. (Daniel', Joseph', Joseph', Rev. John'). 

The records of Southampton give " Daniel Moor, Jr., earmark slope under 
right ear, half penny upon same, slope on left ear, half penny under same, Jan- 
uary 22, 1752." This shows that he was a resident of the town in 1752. In 1776 
Daniel Moore* had sons, Henry, Joseph, Daniel, living in Bridgehampton. Henry 
is on the records with 2 males, 3 females ; Joseph, 3 males, 4 females ; Daniel, 2 
males, 3 females. Rev. Lsaac Todd [3066] in his letters, in reference to the 
genealogy of Daniel's family, does not mention Henry. He says : " David 
(a slip of the pen for Daniel) went to Albany, or near there, and settled. He 
had several children. One or more of these settled in Cherry Valley. One or two 
of the sons of David (meaning Daniel) were Presbyterian clergymen. A Daniel 
Mooref went to Albany and had twelve children ; one lived at Monticello, about 
four miles from Cherry Valley ; two were Baptist ministers, Joseph and Lucas. 
This Daniel Moore and wife Elsie had a daughter, Eunice Moore, born Jan- 
uary 22, 1765, at Knowlton, Warren County, N. J.,t who married, November 10,

James Madison Porter', Jr., A.M., graduated at Lafayette College in 1852, 
was admitted to the bar in 1855, and was District Attorney 1869. He was the son 
of Judge James Madison Porter^ LL.D., to whom more than to any one person 
Lafayette College owes its origin ; he was born near Norristown, Pa., January 6, 
1793. His early education was carefully conducted up to his preparation for the 
Junior class, with the intention of entering the College of New Jersey, at Prince- 
ton. This purpose, however, he abandoned, and read law in Reading, Pa., with 
his brother, then President-Judge of the Third District, and was admitted to the 
bar April 23, 1813. He first located in Philadelphia, remaining till 1818, after 
which, until his death, he resided in Easton. In a few years he stood at the head 
of the bar in legal and forensic ability, although still comparatively a young man. 
In 1837-38 he was one of the foremost members of the convention for revising the 
Constitution of Pennsylvania. He was President-Judge of the Twelfth Judicial 
District from June, 1839, till July, 1840. Under President Tyler's administration, 
he was for some time a member of his Cabinet as Secretary of War. In 1849, he 
was elected a member of the State Legislature. In the spring of 1853, he was 
elected President-Judge of the Twenty-second District, but on account of ill health 
he was obliged to resign early in 1855. From this time he pursued the practice 
oflaw until his death, November 11, 1862. In 1843, he received from Marshall 
College the degree of Doctor of Laws. He was for twenty-five years President of 
the Board of Trustees of Lafayette College, and for many years, also. Professor of 
Jurisprudence and Political Economy. His reputation as a man of great learning 
and eminent legal ability drew many young men whose names appear in the cata- 
logues of that period as students of law. 

James Madison Porter', Jr., was the grandson of Colonel Andrew Porter',* 
who served through the whole of the Revolution, and at its close was Colonel of 
the Fourth or Pennsylvania Regiment of Artillery. He was engaged for several 
years in scientific commissions connected with running the lines between New 
York and Pennsylvania. In 1809, he was appointed Surveyor-General of Penn- 
sylvania. His wife was EHzabeth Parker.

6. Elizabeth Moore' (Rev. John') and Content Titus' (Robert', Silius, 
died 1637, married Constantia , died 1667). 

Robert Titus, the immigrant, embarked from London 3d April, 1635. The 
passenger list, preserved in the public record office, London, contains the follow- 
ing entr>': " Theis underwritten names are to be transported to New England 
imbarqued in ye Hopewell, Mr. Wm. Bundle. The parties have brought certifi- 
cate from the Minister and Justices of the Peace that they are no Subsidy men, 
they have taken the oath AUeg. and Supremacie." 

Here follow between twenty and thirty names, some from Essex, some from 
Derbyshire, Herts and Cambridge. Among them are these names: Robert Titus, 
Husbandman of St. Katherines, aged 35 ; Hannah Titus, Uxor, age 31; Jo Titus, 
age 8; Edmond Titus, age 5. 

After the arrival of Robert Titus and his family in Boston, in the summer 
of 1635, land was granted to him in what is now the town of Brookline, near 
Muddy River, adjoining Boston. Here they remained two or three years, when 
they removed to Weymouth, about nine miles to the southeast. Their land is 
described in the records of the town of Weymouth, and was located in the present 
village of North Weymouth, not far from the place of the unfortunate settlement 
made by Captain Weston, in September, 1622. In the spring of 1644 Robert 
Titus, in company with about foity families, including the minister of Weymouth, 
Rev. Samuel Newman, removed to the town of Rehobeth, ju.st east of Providence, 
Rhode Island. While at Rehobeth, he was often entrusted by the freeman with 
offices of confidence. He was Commissioner from Rehobeth to the Court of Plym- 
outh in the years 1648-9, and in 1650 and in 1654. He had some trouble with 
the authorities because he harbored Abner Ordway and family, they being of 
"evil fame." This probably signified that they were Quakers. In 1654, on the 
" 23d of 3d month," Robert Titus sold his property at Rehobeth to Robert Jones, 
of Nantasket, and removed to Long Island. Edmond, his .second .son, had been 
in Hempstead since about 1650. John, the eldest, remained in Rehobeth, North 
Purchase, now Attlebore. His other children went with him to Long Island. 
His sous, Samuel, Abiel and Content were freeholders in Huntington, Long 
Island, in 1666. Robert Titus died before his wife. Her will was dated at Hun- 
tington, 14th of May, 1672, and proved 28th May, 1679. She gives to her son 
Content, her house and all her lands, he paying his brother John ten pounds. She 
adds : 

"And also I give to my son John my mare, and to my son Edmond I give a horse, and 
to my son Samuel a browne cow and a yearlen stear, and I give to my son Samuel's wife my 
warming pan, and to my son Abiall's wife my smoothing iron, and to my son Content's wife 
my skimmer, and for what remnantes I have of serge and cloth, my will is that it be equally 
divided among all my children, and to my dafter Susane I give my sarg hoode, and for all the 
rest of the estate within the house and without it I give to my sun Abiall and Content to be 
equally divided between them two, and to this my will.* 

" I set my hand in the presence of 

Richard Williams. the H mark of 

Thomas Skidmore. Hana Titus." 

Robert Titust had six children — John, Edmond, both born in England, 
Samuel, Susanna, Abiel, Content. 

Content Titus' was born at Weymouth, Mass., 28th March, 1643. He was 
a landholder in Huntington, Long Island in 1666, and in Newtown in 1672. In 
1675 he was taxed for i male, 20 land, i horse, 2 oxen, 3 cows, i 3-yr, 2 2-yr, 2 
i-yr, 10 sheep, I swine. He was active in church and state, was Overseer April,

sessor 1686, 1693 was a Captain]: in the war against the Indians, and became an

ated at the University of Pennsylvania, 1845, was admitted to the Medical Society 
of Somerset County, N. J., 1846, and at once began to practice at Neshanic ; he 
was admitted to the Medical Society of Hunterdon County, May 6, 1S51, and was 
elected Secretary the same day ; he moved to Flemington at that time and prac- 
ticed there until October 28, 1851, when he resigned from the Society, was elected 
an honorary member, and removed to Easton, Pa. Here he practiced till the 
breaking out of the Civil War, when he entered the army as Surgeon of the First 
Pennsylvania Volunteers. He afterwards became Stafi Surgeon, and was in 
charge of various large general hospitals at Nashville and elsewhere.* At the 
close of the war he settled in Knoxville, Tenn., practicing his profession there 
for fourteen years. He was appointed by Governor Brownlow a trustee of the 
University of Tennessee, and was also a State Director of the Knoxville and Ohio 
Railroad Company. In 1880 he returned to Easton, where he still lives and prac- 
tices. Dr. Ludlow has always been much interested in the welfare of the horse, 
and he found time some years ago to publish, under the name of " Science in the 
Stable," a small work giving the results of a long series of experiments and ob- 
servations on the hygiene of that animal.

Dr. David Hunt Ludlow\ born at Easton, Pa., June 14, 1857, was a 
graduate of the University of Tennessee in 1875. After post-graduate work 
there and at the University of Cincinnati, he accepted the As.sociate Professor- 
ship of Mathematics at his Alma Mater, but resigned in 1879 to devote himself to 
law. He was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1881 and practiced in that 
city until 1887, when considerations of health led him to Denver, where he took 
up the study of medicine. After graduating and taking two years of clinical 
work there, and special post-graduate study at Johns Hopkins and at the 
Philadelphia Polyclinic, he returned to Denver and became Lecturer on 
Physiology at the Gross Medical College. He was one of the founding members

Heard the report of Messrs. van Aertsbergen and other their High Mightinesses 
deputies engaged in the affairs of the West India Company; also read certain memorial 
presented by the Delegates from the people of New Netherland, purporting in effect that they 
have ready, agreeably to their High Mightinesses' order, one hundred of the two hundred 
guns in question, with powder and lead in proportion; Requesting hereby that Jacob van 
Kouwenhoven, Captain of the Burghery in Netherland, be authorized to distribute the afore- 
said guns there at a reasonable price, with the knowledge of the Director, Council and Select 
men, according as the government shall think proper. Whereupon deliberation being had, it 
is resolved and concluded hereby to permit and allow the aforesaid Jacob van Couwenhoven to 
distribute among the people in New Netherland, on the aforesaid conditions and modification, 
the above mentioned hundred guns with their accoutrements and appendages, and the 
petitioners shall be at liberty to send the remainder of the guns to New Netherland by another

The English of Gravesend among others, having, with the Director's consent, given the 
Indians of Cannarse some stamped guns, in payment for their laud, the latter came with them

THE MAGISTRATES OF GRAVESEND TO THE DIRECTORS AT 

AMSTERDAM. § 
Honorable Gentlemen : 

Your honors' letter, dated the 21st March, 1651, was handed us by our honored and 
revered Governor, agreeably to your Honors' commands, and we return you our humble and 
thankful acknowledgment for your Honors' care not only of us, but also for the general wel- 
fare and prosperity of the entire country, it being to us a very great encouragement that we 
should receive your favorable inclination not only to hear but to redress the just grievances of 
your subjects in this Province; also, that your Honors are pleased to maintain us in our 
privileges; wherefore shall we, on all occurring occasions, applj- and repair to you, as our 
Lords and Patroons, for the improvement of whatever we consider out of order, or to obtain 
any further just privileges. 

We especially take to heart your Honors' wisdom and candor in postponing to answer 
our previous letter until your Honors had fully examined and sifted the truth in regard to our

actual government, being heartily rejoiced that you are satisfied therewith, and that you are 
resolved to support and maintain its authority under your Honors. We clearly acknowledge 
that the frequent changing a government, or the power of electing a Governor among our- 
selves, which some among us, as we understand, aim at, would be our ruin and destruction by 
reason of our factions and various opinions, inasmuch as many among us being unwilling to 
subject themselves to any sort of government, mild or strong, it must, on that account, be 
compulsory or by force, until the Governor's authority be well confirmed; for such persons will 
not only despise, scorn or disobey authorit)', and by their evil example drag other persons 
along, whereby the laws would be powerless, but every one would desire to do what would 
please and gratify himself. In fine, the strongest would swallow up the weakest, and by 
means of elections or choosing, we should be involved in like inconveniences. Moreover, we 
are not supplied and provided with persons qualified and fit for such stations. Therefore, and 
seeing that we have nothing to bring forward against our present Governor, but, on the con- 
trary, truly, and in deed approving his public deportment in his administration, we request 
that he be still continued over us, and that no change be made. 

We presume that your Honors are informed, b)* our neighbors of Hemstede, of the 
divers injuries and damages done them by the Indians, on various occasions, by slaughtering 
their cattle, as well as those of private individuals at other places. Although we doubt not 
your Honors have, by commands and otherwise, labored to prevent the importation, into this 
place, of muskets, powder and lead to be sold to the Indians; yet, whether b)' connivance or 
winking, or neglect of the officers appointed to that duty carefully to examine or inspect, or in 
consequence of the activity and cunning of the inhabitants, the fact is, so great a quantitj' of 
every sort were imported and sold to the Indians that the latter have thereby become obstinate 
and daring enemies, highly dangerous to our lives and properties, and difficult to tolerate ; 
that we must daily suffer such injuries and losses from the Indians for which we have received 
no satisfaction, so that it is to be feared great dangers will arise herefrom to the ruin of your 
Honors' Province, unless seasonable remedies be applied thereto. 

We are very sensible of your Honors' great care for the welfare of the entire country, 
inasmuch as you have appointed a detachment of soldiers for us, and have, also, heard our 
petition and allowed us to receive a good quantity of ammunition for our necessar)' defence 
wherefore we heartily thank you; requesting your Honors, at the same time, to continue the 
same annually on condition of our paying our Governor therefor. The reinforcement of 
soldiers has, however, been very small; and although we have had, this year, many ships here 
from Holland, yet that has been of little avail to the strengthening of these parts, on which 
subject we have taken the humble liberty to submit to your Honors these two questions or 
propositions. In case thej' are obtained or carried out, they will avail, considerably, to the 
strengthening of this country and the general revenue of the Tenths, to your Honors' profit. 

First. Our Governor, considering, w'ith the advice and approbation of others who will 
agree with him thereupon, the imposition of the traders and the little strength added by some 
of their shipping to the security and increase of this Province, inasmuch as the)', for the most 
part, are traders and factors, who do not add to the public prosperity, but come and go solel}' 
for their individual profit and advantage, we have bethought ourselves of chartering some 
ships in Holland for the behoof of this country, to bring over whatever we stand in need of, 
viz', passengers and servant men, which we mostly lack, as we are too much fatigued b)' work; 
provided your Honors will consent and permit these ships, and none other, to trade here. In 
case your Honors will be pleased to consent, for a certain time, and the Agents, who shall be 
employed therein, have the liberty to hire or engage servant men who, also, shall be distributed 
according to the good will and pleasure of the Governor and Council, the masters paying 50 
per cent, for the expenses of their passage and other outfits, besides yearly wages agreed to 
with the servant man in Holland, this countn,' will be able to absorb, yearly, five @ six hundred, 
whereby it will be greatly strengthened and your revenue increased. 

Secondly. We most humbly request your Honors to expend, in Negroes or Blacks, 
whatever means you, in your wisdom, will deem prudent; for your Honors can best do that, 
in consequence of your interest in this place, on condition of our paying you for the same 
whatever price you will order. We humbly conceive that your Honors will, thereby, have 
double profits; first, from what we shall pay for those Negroes; secondly from the Tenths. 

Gentlemen. 'Tis not with us as in our Fatherland, or as in Kingdoms and Republics 
which are established and settled by long and well experienced laws and fundamentals, best 
agreeing with the condition of the people. But in our little body, made up of divers members, 
namely, folks of different nations, many things occur in the laying of a foundation for which 
there are no rules nor examples, and, therefore, must be fixed at the discretion of a well 
experienced Governor; for we are as a young tree or little sprout now, for the first time, shoot- 
ing forth to the world, which, if watered and nursed by your Honors' liberality and attention, 
may, hereafter, grow up a blooming Republic. After our humble recommendations and services 
to your Honors, we leave off and remain your Honors' obedient servants and inhabitants.

RESOI.UTION OF THE STATES GENERAL REFERRING A LETTER 
OF THE AMSTERDAM CHAMBER*. 

{From the Regntfr of West India Affairs, 1638-16$!, in the Royal Archives at the Hague. '\ 
[Folio 660J 

Tuesday, 21 March, 1651. 
Received a letter from the Directors of the Incorporated West India Company at the 
Cbaniber at Amsterdam dated 28th instant, being an answer to their High Mightinesses' letter 
of the 14th of this month, to the effect that Jan Janss Damen has returned to New Netherland, 
and that Secretary Cornells van Ticnhoven is on his way hither, and that they are not aware 
but he will afford their High Mightinesses information on all points. Whereupon deliberation 
being had, it is resolved and concluded that the aforesaid letter shall be placed in the hands of 
Messrs Aersbergen and the other their High Mightinesses Deputies for West India affairs to 
inspect and examine it and report thereon.

1659, March 26. t 
Jeremy Wood says that upon some conference I had with Armitage, two or three daj's 
after he had passed a deed of gift to his son, he told me "he had taken an opportunity, being 
Mr. Moore and Mr. Wood had been in the town, and gotten them to make a deed of gift of the 
£10 which I and Henry Pearsall stood bound for D. Whitehead, that at the end of ten or eleven 
years he should have both that and the moneys due from James Pine when the time was 
expired." Anna Gildersleeve, wife of John Smith Nants, says that Mr. Wood, of Newtown, 
lately deceased, being at my father's, told me, upon some discourse concerning the deed of 
gift to Manasses, that to his knowledge there was such a deed made, but whetlier he or Mr. 
Moore had written it he did not remember, but both their hands were to it. Elizabeth, wife 
of Jeremv Wood, saith that about seven years past, Martha, the late wife of Thomas Armitage, 
being at iny house, she told me that "Mr. Wood and Mr. Moore were, as she supposed, then 
at her house, and were about making a deed of gift from her husband to her son-in-law ; " and 
thereupon I going forth out of doors with Martha, we saw both Mr. Moore and Mr. Wood come 
out of the house, and then Martha said to me : "Now, I suppose they have done it ; " and I 
having had some discourse with Thomas concerning the matter, he acknowledged that he had 
made a deed of gift of some part of his estate to Manasses, and that his children should enjoy 
his estate, lest the children of the stepmother should deprive his own children. A., 155-162.

CHARLES R.* 

" Charles the Second, by the grace of God, King of England, Sic, to all, &c. Whereas 
■we have rec'd several! addresses from our subjects of severall coloneys of New England, all full 
of duty and affection, and expressions of loyalty and allegiance to us, with their humble desire 
that we would renew their several charters, and receive them into our favourable opinion and 
protection ; and several of our coloneys there, and other our loveing subjects have likewise 
complayned, differences and disputes arisen upon the limits and bounds, whereby unncighborly 
and unhrotherly contentions have and may arise, to the damage and discredit of the English 
interests ; and thatt all our good subjects residing there, and being planters, within the severall 
coloneys, do not enjoy the liberty and privileges granted to them by our severall charters, upon 
confidence and assurance of which they transported themselves and their estates into those 
partes, and we having received some addresses from the great men and natives of those coun- 
treys, in which they complayne of breach of fayth, an<l acts of violence and injustice which 
they have been forced to undergoe from our subjects, whereby not only our government is tra- 
duced, but the reputation and credit of the christian religion brought into prejudice and re- 
proach with the Gentiles and inhabitance of those countreys, who know not God, the reduction 
of whom to the true knowledge and fear of God ; is the most worthy and glorious end of all 
those Plantations; upon all which motives, and as an evidence and manifestation of our fath- 
erly affection toward all our subjects in those severall coloneys of New England [that is to 
say], of the Massachusetts, Connecticutt, New Plimouth, Road Island and the Proviilence Plan- 
tations, and all other Plantations within that tract of land known under the appellation of New 
England ; and to the end we may be truly informed of the state and condition of our good sub- 
jects there, that soe we may the better know how to contribute to the farther improvement of 
their happ3-ness and prosperity ; Know yee, therefore, that wee, reposing speciall trust and 
confidence in the fidelitj-, wisdome and circumspection of our trusty and well beloved Colonell 
Richard Nicoll, Sir Robert Carr, Knight, George Cartright and Samuel Maverick, our commis- 
sioners, and doe give hereby and grant unto them, or of the survivors of them [of whom we will 
the sayd Colonell Richard Nicoll, during his life, shall be always one], and upon equal division 
of opinions to have the casting and decisive voyce, in our name to visitt all and every the sev- 
erall coloneys aforesaid, and also all power and authority to heare and receive, and to examine 
and determine all complaynts, appeals in all causes and matters, as well miletary as criminall 
and civill, and proceed in all things for the providing for and settling the appeals and equity of 
the said countreys, according to their good and sound discresions, and to such instructions as 
they or the survivors of them have, or shall from time to time receive from us, in that behalfe, 
and from time to time, as they shall finde expedient, to certify us or our privy councill of theire 
actings or proceedings touching the premises, and for the doeing thereof, any other matter or 
thing relating thereunto, these presents or the enrolment thereof, shall be unto them and every 
of them, a sufficient warrant and discharge in that behalfe. In witnesse whereof we have

NICOLL'S CALL FOR CONVENTION, 1665.! 

"Whereas, the Inhabitants of Long Island have for a long time groan'd under many 
grievous inconveniences and discouragemts ^ occasioned partly from their Subjection, partly 
from their opposition, to a forreigne Power, in which distracted condition, few or no Lawes 
could be put in due Execution; Bounds and Titles to Lands disputed, civill Libertyes inter- 
rupted, and, from this Generall confusion, private dissentions and animosityes have too much 
prevaid'd against neighborly Love and Christian Charity. To the preventing of the future 
growth of the like Evills, his Maj'y (as a signall grace and honour to his subjects upon Long 
Island) hath at his ovvne charge reduc't the forraigne power to his obedience, and by Patent, 
hath invested His Royall Highuesse the Duke of York, with full and absolute Power, in and over 
all and every the particular Tracts of Land mentioned, wch said Powers by commission from His 
Royall Highnesse the Duke of York, I am deputed to put in Execution. In discharge therefore, 
of my Trust and Duty, to settle good and Known Laws within this Government, for the future, 
and receive yor best advice and informacon in a genaU meeting; I have thought fitt to Publish 
unto you. that upon the last day of this present ffebruary, at Hempstead upon Long Island, 
shall be a gena'l meeting, which is to consist of Deputyes chosen by the Major part of the firee- 
meu onl)'; which is to be understood of all Persons Rated according to their Estates, whether 
English or Dutch, with'" your severall Townes and Precincts, whereof you are to make Publi- 
cation to the Inhabitants foure dayes before yo" proceed to an Election, appointing a certain 
day for that purpose. You are further to impart to the Inhabitants from mee.That I doe heart- 
ily recommend to them the Choice of the most Sober, able and discrete Persons, without parti- 
ality or faction, the fruite and benefitt whereof, will return to themselves, in a full and perfect 
composure of all controversies, and y^ propagation of true Religion amongst us. They are 
alsoe required to bring w'h them a Draught of each Towne Liniitts, or such writings as are nec- 
essary to evidence the Bounds and Limitts, as well as the right by which they challenge such 
Bounds and Limitts, by Grant and Purchase, or both. As alsoe to give notice of meeting to the 
Sachems of the Indians, whose presence may in some cases be necessary. Lastly I doe require 
you to assemble your Inhabitants and read this Letter to them, and then and there to nominate 
a day for the Election of two Deputyes from your Towne, who are to bring a certificate of their 
Election [w'h full power to conclude any cause or matter relating to their Several Townes] to 
meet at Hempstead upon the last day of ffebruary, where [God willing] I shall expect them."

" We the deputies elected from the several towns upon Long Island, assembled at 
Hempstead in general meeting, by authority derived from your royal Highness under the Hon-

orable Colonell Nicolls as deputy governor, do most humbly and thankfully acknowledge to 
your royal Highness the great honor and satisfaction we receive in our dependence upon your 
royal Highness, according to the tenor of his sacred Majesty's patent, granted the 12th day of 
March, 1664 ; wherein we acknowledge ourselves, our heirs and successors for ever, to be com- 
prised to all intents and purposes, as therein is more at large expressed. And we do publicly 
and unanimously declare our cheerful submission to all such laws, statutes, and ordinances, 
which are or shall be made bj- virtue of authority from your royal Highness, your heirs and suc- 
cessors for ever : As also that we will maintain, uphold, and defend, to the utmost of our power 
and peril of us, our heirs and successors for ever, all the rights, title, and interest, granted by 
his sacred Majesty to your royal Highness, against all pretensions or invasions, foreign and do-

DUKE OF YORK TO LIEUTENANT BROCKHOLES.* 

[New York Entriei, CL/.jS.] 

Newmarkett, 2S March [1682]. 

Lieutenant Brockholes. 

Since my arrivall here I have had an acct of ye result of divers meetings of my Comrs 
touching ye state of affayres at New Yorke, but untiil I come to London [wch i doubt will 
not be till this ship is sailed], I cannot perfect those resolucons w^h I shall take thereupon; 
only for ys prsent, in confirmacon of wt my Secy lately wrote to you I send ys to tell you 
that I intend to establish such a forme of governem' at New Yorke as shall have all ye advan- 
tages & privileges to ye inhabitants & traders there, wch His Mats other plantacons in .\merica 
doe enjoy, particularly in ye chooseing of an .•\ssembly, and in all other things as nere as may 
be agreable to ye laws of England. But y" I shall expect y' the Countrey of New Yorke and 
its Dependencyes shall provide some certaine fonds for ye necessary support of ye goveniemt 
and garrison, and for dischargeing ye arreares w^h are or shal be incurred since ye obstruccons 
yt have latelv beene to the collection of ye publique revenue there. Wherefore you are to use 
all dilligence to induce ye people there of best note and estates, to dispose y"' selves and their 
friends to a cheerfull complyance in this point, and you may assure y™ y' wt soever shal be 
thus raysed, shal be applyed to those publique uses. For I seeke ye connnon good and 
protection of ye countrey and ye increase of their trade, before my advantages to my selfe in ys 
matter. By the next shipping I intend you shall heare further from mee. I am &e.

DUKE OF YORK TO GOVERNOR ANDROS.t 

[yew y'ork Entries, CLl, 17.] 

First yn. touching Generall Asseniblyes weh ye people there seeme desirous of in 
imitacon of their neighbour Colonies, I thinke you have done well to discourage any mocon of 
y' kind, both as being not at all comprehended in yor Instructions nor indeed consistent wth 
ye forme of governmt already established, nor necessary' for ye ease or redress of any 
greivance vt mav happen, since yt may be as easily obtained, by any peticon or other 
addresse to you at their Generall Assizes [well is once a yeare] where the same persons [as 
Justices] are usually present, who in all probability would be theire Representatives if another 
constitucon were allowed. (April 6, 1675. )

OBSERVACONS UPON THE CHARTER OF NEW YORK.t

Sheriflfs and other Officers of Justice to be appointed with like power as in Eng- 
land. 

This is not so distinctly granted or practiced in any other Plantation. 

That the Supream Legislative Authority shall remain in the Governor, Councill 
and the People mett in a GenH Assembly. 

The words The People met in a General Assembly are not used in any other Con- 
stitution in America; But only the Words General Assembly. 

The Exercise of the Chief Magistracy and Administration of the governm* shall 
be in the Gov assisted by a Councill; with whose advice and consent he shall 
and may govern and rule the said Province according to the laws established. 

If this oblige and restrain the Gov from doing anything without the Councill it 
is a greater restraint than any other Gov is subject to. 

That according to the usage and practice of the kingdom of England there shall 
be a sessions of a Generall Assembly to be called to meet once in 3 Years or 
oftner. 

This is an Obligation upon the government greater than has been ever agreed to 
in any other Plantation. And the grant of such a privilege has been rejected 
elsewhere, notwithstanding a Revenue offered to induce it. 

Which Representatiues of the Province with the Governor and his Councill shall 
be the supream and only legislatiue power of the said Province. 

Whether this does not abridge the Acts of Parliament that maybe made concern- 
ing New York. 

That all Bills agreed upon by the said Representatiues shall be presented by them 
to the Governor and Councill for the time being for their Approbation and 
Consent. 

This seems to take away from the Governor and Councill the power of framing 
Laws as in other Plantations. 

Which Bills so approved shall be deemed a Law for the spaceof two years unless 
the Lord Proprietor shall signify his dissent within that time. That in case 
the Lord Proprietor shall confirm the Laws within that time, they shall con- 
tinue in force uutill repealed by the Assembly. That in Case of Dissent or 
Determination of two years they shall be voyd. 

This Term of years does abridge the King's power, and has been thought incon- 
venient in other Plantations, and is different from Colonel Dungan's Instruc- 
tions. 

No person shall be admitted to sitt in the Assembly untill he hath taken the 
Oaths of .Allegiance and Fidelity to the Lord Proprietor. 

This nmst be altered at present. 

And by his submission and peaceable behaviour hath demonstrated his affection 
to the Government. 

This seems to be restrained by what follows. 

That the Assembly shall with the Consent of the Governor judge of undue elec- 
tions, and of the Qualifications of the Representatiues; And with the like con- 
sent to purge their house, and expell any member as they shall see occasion. 

This may be inconvenient, and is not practiced in some other Plantations. 

That the forfeiture for not niaking due Entries shall be applyed, one third to the 
Lord Proprietor, one third to the Governor and one third to the Informer. 

The application to the Govr is unusuall. 

That all Christians shall enjoy Liberty of Conscience, so they do not disturb the 
peace. 

This is practised in the Proprieties. 

That every publick Minister upon Long Island shall be maintained according to 
subscriptions: That all Contracts made in New York for the maintenance of 
the severall ministers shall be made good. 

This is agreeable to the Practice of New England, but not of his Ma's other 
Plantations.

ISLAND OF NASSAU. I 

April, 10, 1693, the name of Long Island was changed to the "Island of Nassau," an 
alteration which arose from political vanity, and was neither popular, or generally adopted. 
The act, although it is believed never, explicitly repealed, was suffered to become obsolete by 
disuse. 

The words of this act are as follows: — 

"Be it Enacted by the Governor, and Council, and Representatives, convened in 
General Assembly, and b\- the authoritj' of the same. That the Island comnionly called and 
known by the Name of Long Island, shall from henceforth be called the Island of Nassau; and 
that after the Publication hereof, all their Majesties loving Subjects are hereby required, in all 
Grants, Patents, Deeds, Conveyances, Bargains of Sale, Bills, Bonds, Records, and other Instru- 
ments in Writing, that shall hereafter be made, granted, conveyed, bargained, sold, and executed, 
for or concerning the said Island, or any Part or Place, within the same, or in any County 
thereof, to call and denominate the said Island in all such deeds and Escripts, as aforesaid, the 
Island of Nassau; any Thing contained in any former Act to the Contrary hereof in any wise 
notwithstanding. ' '

\ Maidstone is in the west centre of Kent County. Cranbrooke is about twelve miles due south from it, while 
Loose, Linton, and Horsmonden are about on the same line going south from Maidstone to Cranbrooke. Lang- 
ley is east of the line, and Harrietsham east again of it, both near Loose. Brenchley is west, and Staplehurst 
east of the line, about parallel to Horsmonden. Tenterden is southeast of Cranbrooke, with Wittershani south 
of Tenterden, and Lydd, once a seaport, is still farther to the southeast, almost to Dengeness Head. Sadomi is 
doubtless an error in copying.

t I trace from Lewis Moore, of Rocky Hill, N. J., by a paper bearing date 1772. It consists of three affidavits 
by as many persons who knew Lewis Moore and his family. These are attested by the then Mayor of the City 
of New York and by the then Governor of the Province of New York, to which are attached the seals of both 
city and province. The seal seat you is a copy of one my grandfather owned and which after his death caine 
into the possession of one of ray uncles. He died amongstrangersand the original has been lost. I have a min- 
iature portrait of John Moore, of Bombay, date about 1770, also one of his brother William Moore, dated 1777, 
and one of John W., a son of William, about 1818. (The seal is like the one on the cover of this book. J. W. M.)

3 Tradition— Emmor Moore's father (possibly Emtuor himself) kept store near the Brandywine, in Pennsyl- 
vania, and was well off. He failed on account of the depreciation of Continental money. Emmor. and possibly 
his father, removed to Westmoreland Co. One child was born there, John, and possibly all were. The family 
afterward removed to Eastern Ohio and Emmor died there 1810. During the battle of Brandywine 16 wounded 
soldiers were carried to Emmor Moore's father's house.

mand the same," the .sum of 5 Ehillings. Samuel i;3, John having 2/3, etc. Writer supposes his wife was Eliza-

C.\PT. William Moore, New York. Capt. William Moore't m. (i) Margaret Fean, 
(2) Nov. 29, 16S5, at New York, Anna Jaros (i. e., Anna, daughter of John), widow of Gozen 
Stephenson (George), by her first husband, she had a son John Stephenson, b. before 1685, who 
was afterward called John King; by her second husband, William Moore, she had Hannah, who 
was married; she had a third husband (Jonnantell) and had three daughters, leaving some prop- 
erty in N. Y.; Gozen Stephenson was a Dutch settler in the Dutch section of Middleburgh 
(Newtown). 

William Moore, Pennsylvania. My own ancestors, as far as I can trace, were among 
those who were involved in the Rebellion of the Earl of Argyle, and after his execution in 1685, 
fled, or were banished to the London colonies in Ulster. There, in 1689-90, the first ancestor of 
my given name "William" was born in Londonderry, or near it, just before or during the siege. 
The name, of course, indicates the politics and the adhesion of the Argyle rebels to the Orange 
rebels. A family tradition handed down from father to son in a direct line, is that the young 
namesake of the Prince of Orange starved for want of nourishment, was supposed to be dead, 
when a woman who had lost her child took him to her breast and cherished him back to life. 
As soon as his parents, reduced to utter poverty, could gather themselves together, they went to 
America, early in the i8th century, and landed with a shipload, probably of Redemptioners, at 
New Castle on the Delaware. Fortunately the father was a blacksmith and soon found work on 
a farm belonging to Wm. Steele, Jr., a part of Penn's Manor of Steyning, and occupied by his 
sister, a Mrs. Donnel then, or soon, a widow. The son of William', Jacob' by name, b. 1730, 
va. Widow Donnel and carried on her business. In 1772, by his will Sept. 15, Wm. Steele, Jr., 
conveyed to his brother-in-law, Jacob, and sister, Hannah Moore, the property on which they 
were living in Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle Co., Del., and which is still in the posses- 
sion of the family. Jacob Moore' and Hannah Moore had Andrew-', b. 1768; William", b. Dec.

son, of Chicago, he was elected by acclamation. Dr. Moore was born at Strasburg, Peun., in 
1823, was graduated from Yale College in 1847, and was a private student in theology while 
principal of the Fairfield Seminary, in Connecticut. He was licensed to preach in 1S50, and 
began his pastoral life in the First Presbyterian Church, of West Chester, Penn., where he re- 
mained from 1850 to 1872, when he accepted a call to the Second Church, of Columbus, Ohio, 
which he also served twenty-two years. In April, 1S94, on the completion of his seventieth year, 
he resigned his pastorate, and since that time has been acting as pastor emeritus. Dr. Moore 
has prepared four digests of the General Assembly, " The New School Digest," in 1861, " The 
Digest of 1873, after the Reunion," " The Digest of 1886, after the .\doption of the Book of 
Discipline," and " The Digest of 189S." In addition to his other faithful work for the Presby- 
terian Church, Dr. Moore served as a member of the committees which formed the Book of Dis- 
cipline, and which prepared a revision of the Confession of Faith and the Consensus Creed, the 
latter committee having been raised during his term as Moderator. He was also a member of 
the Council of the Pan-Presbyterian Alliance, in 1877, 18S8, and 1892. Marietta College gave 
him the degree of S.T.D. in 1S73, and Lake Forest added the title of LL.D. in 1892. In speak- 
ing of his work recently to a friend. Dr. Moore said, with characteristic modesty ; "My public 
work for the Church is about done. How well done the Master will decide. He has been a 
good Master, and his Church has honored me more than I deserve "*

Ely Family. The emigrant ancestor of this family was Nathaniel Ely, who died at 
Springfield, Dec. 25, 1675. He probably came to this country in 1634. The late Col. Chester 
gives strong reasons for believing that Nathaniel, of Springfield, -n-as a son of Rev. Nathaniel 
Ely and grandson of Rev. George Elv, vicar of Teuterden in Kent, from 1571 to 1615. He gives 
the families of both Rev. George FHyand his son Nathaniel. Nathaniel, son of the latter, was 
probably born in 1602. Col. Chester says: "I cannot in my own mind resist the conviction that 
he was identical with the Nathaniel Ely \vho appeared in New England about 1634. Of course, 
there is no absolute proof, but this group of facts is strongly suggestive. "§

bought the estate of .Abbots Stockinsft and then owned or subsequently purchased the estate of 
Cope's Stockins in the same parish of Helmedon. Thomas Emvley, Esq., d. in 1608, seized of

W! Emlev-Emlen Family. These families probably had the same source, from Helmedon, and they proba- 
bly were from the West Riding of York or Scotland. Thomas Emlin, the learned and persecuted Arian divine 
and author who was *, at Stamford, Lincolnshire, 1663, was perhaps of this family of Helmedon, d. 1743. A 
family surnamed Emlen flourished in West Jersey at an early period.

White (Townsend m. Ann Renaudet,t July 13, 1741) ; Josiah' m. Deborah Ring, Tren- 
ton, N. J. The Moore in the name Moore Furman§ is evidently a family name, for his seal 
attached to official papers bears the same crest as that of the Moores of Ipswich, England. He 
began business as a merchant in Trenton. He was a trustee of the Presbyterian Church of that 
place, 1760-4. Soon after the latter date he removed to Pittstown and purchased real estate 
in and around the place. He built the stone grist-mill, kept store near where Mr. Sylvester 
Probasco's house stands, and kept a grain distillery and a hand-wrought nail factory in the 
basement of the old frame house which stood, till latelv, near the mill. A large business was 
done in grain, flour, whiskey and hand-wrought nails, and heavily loaded wagons were kept on 
the road between Pittstown and Lamberton (now South Trenton), the head of water carriage 
to Philadelphia. He lived in the "Old Red House" which stood where is now Mr. Porter C. 
Little's residence. He was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas 1777-1785, a Justice of the 
Peace 1781 and 1786, and a Deputy Commissary of the Revolution, which position he resigned 
Sept. 20, 1780. His storage of army supplies was kept in a house where that of Mr. \V. Henry 
Smith stands. In Vol. VIII of Original Manuscript Letters in the Library of the American 
Philosophical Society in Philadelphia are five or six of his letters dated from Pittstown, 1779, 
and in Vol. IX is one dated from the same place, Nov. S, 1779. These letters relate chiefly to 
commissary business. There is a credible tradition that Gen. Washington staid over night 
■with him one or twice at Pittstown. About 1786 or 1787 he removed to Philadelphia, leaving 
his business at Pittstown in charge of Benjamin Guild and his son John W. Furman. A little 
later he returned to Trenton, and was again chosen as trustee of the Presbyterian Church, 
which office he continued to hold until his death. He was the first Mayor of Trenton by ap- 
pointment of the Legislature on its incorporation in 1792, and was a Presidential Elector in

of Elizabeth's children is dead and has left eight children, minors, who draw 1/8 of one of her children's shares 
or i'8 of ^66 13 4. which is £^ 6 8 each, equal to /"400. Estimated value of the land. .^4400. The above calculation 
is made upon the supposition that the children and grandchildren of the several personsjdec. will draw equal 
shares, but as there are males and females the proportion of the males were greater and that of the females less.

which was erected in 1801. Moore Furman was a vestryman of Christ Church, Phila., 1774.* 
We find in the records of the Hunterdon County clerk's office, dated Jan. 7, 1784, that the 
sheriff executed the following: "To All Christian People to Whom These Presents Shall Come, 
Greeting: I, Moore Furman, being convinced of the iniquity and inhumanity of slavery, and 
desirous of discouraging the same, liave manumitted my negro man slave Thomas, and do by 
these presents manumit, set free, and discharge my negro man Thomas from all bonds and 
slavery to me, my heirs, and assigns forever. t (Signed) Moore Furman." Moore Furman*

APPENDIX 495 



of tbe Minutes of Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church: John Potts, the subject of 
this biographical notice, was born in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Of his early history, 
conversion to God, and call to the ministry, we have but little satisfactory information. He 
commenced his itinerant labours in 1S12, under the direction of a presiding elder. In the fol- 
lowing year he was admitted on trial in the Philadelphia annual conference, and appointed to 
Freehold circuit. He subsequently filled some of the most important appointments in the dif- 
ferent sections of this then extended conference, as may be seen by recurring to the minutes, in 
all of which he prosecuted the duties of his high vocation with acceptance and more than ordi- 
nary success. His last field of labour was the South Philadelphia district, to which he was 
appointed as presiding elder at the conference of 1834. Here his versatility of ministerial and 
business talent was seen and acknowledged. He presided in the quarterly conference with dig- 
nity, preached to the edification of the church and the awakening and conversion of sinners, 
and counseled both ministers and members with abilitj' and fidelity. In this important and re- 
sponsible office he added greatly to the amount of valuable service he had rendered to the cause 
of God, and acquired for himself additional esteem and afiection from his brethren and friends. 
On this field be also fought his last conflict and gained his last signal and complete victory. 
At the conference for 1836 he was violently attacked with disease, which soon affected his lungs, 
and continued its ravages until it terminated his useful life on the 22d of September, 1837. His 
sufferings for nearly eighteen months were constant, and much of the time severe. Through 
grace, however, he was enabled to bear all with patience and resignation. In the last part of 
his sickness, especially, he abounded in the strong consolations of the gospel. He perfectly 
understood his condition, and knew that his end was drawing near. He conversed about his 
departure with perfect freedom and composure. About three weeks before his death he told a 
friend his wish respecting his funeral and the place of his interment, and desired him to make 
the arrangements accordingly, and when informed that he had done so, expressed a satisfaction 
that his last temporal business was finished. The last three days of his life were days of un- 
mitigated physical agony. To use his own words, "It seemed as if his flesh was all on fire." 
But during the whole time his mind was perfectly serene and happy. During the last day, 
after his extremities were cold in death, he frequently repeated the expression, "So shall we 
ever be with the Lord." A short time before his death, ob-serving his companion standing by 
his bed and weeping, he addressed her with much tenderness, as follows; "O, my dear wife, 
■we shall soon meet again." And then, as if he already felt so much of eternity that time 
dwindled into comparative nothingness, added, "soon, soon," repeating the word four or five 
times, .■^fter he had remained with his eyes closed for some time, he opened them, and said 
with feebleness, but with distinctness, "This is the valley of the shadow of death, but I go 
through fearing no evil." .\ friend present repeated, "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me." 
He nodded his head in the affirmative, and slept in death. O how transcendant the moral 
beauty and sublimity of such a death-bed scene ! Here was the joy of triumph when engaged 
in the dreadful conflict. Here was the peace of heaven amid the dying strife of earth. Here 
was the Christian with his feet upon the neck of the king of terrors, calmly dispossessing him- 
self of his fleshly garment, and with majesty and glory taking his egress from this state of pro- 
bationary warfare, and ascending to the enjoyment of the rich rewards of immortality, for which 
he had so long and so successfully contended. In giving a summary of the character of our 
deceased brother, we observe his excellences were many. As a friend, he was sincere and con- 
stant, as a husband and a father, affectionate and faithful, as a Christian, consistent and devo- 
ted, and as a minister, talented and useful. Such were the character and death of our departed 
Brother Potts. Let us cherish his memory and his virtues, let us imitate his example and emu- 
late bis piety, and may God grant that we may die his death and that our last end may be like 
his! 

The following is his record from the Minutes of Philadelphia Conference of the Metho- 
dist Episcopal Church: 1813, admitted on trial and appointed to Freehold under Wm. Mills; 
1814, remained on trial and was appointed to Sussex under Jos. Osborn; 1815, admitted into 
full connection and ordained deacon and appointed to Northampton; 1816, deacon elect ap- 
pointed to Essex and Staten Island; 1817, appointed to Caroline, Chesapeake District; 1818, 
made elder, sent to Union Church, Phila.; 1819, sent to Bergen; 1820-1, to Burlington; 1822-3, 
to Wilmington; 1824-5, to Trenton and Bloomsbury (S. of Trenton); 1826-7, to Bridgeton; 
1828-9, to Salem; 1830-1, to Morristown ; 1832-3, to Paterson; 1834-5-6, Presiding Elder of 
South Phila. District; 1836-7, superannuated; 1837, Sept. 22, died. Text used at the funeral of 
Rev. John Potts: " And Pharoah said unto Jacob how old art thou? And Jacob said unto 
Pharoah the days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil 
have the days of the years of my life been and have not attained unto the days of the years of 
the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage," Gen. xlvii, 8 and 9. 

We*'have tbe opportunity of exhibiting the sentiments taught by the Methodists 70 years 
ago. Visiting the rooms of the His. Soc. of the Phila. Conference, we found some copies of the 
first paper ever published in this part of the country, one of the predecessors of the Christian 
Advocate, and looking it over we found a funeral sermon preached by the Rev. John Potts, 
occasioned by the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Edmonds, Aug. 28, 1825, and at our request the Rev. 
Alexander Wiggins, A.M., custodian of the library, made a copy of the discourse. It is so brief 
and so well composed that we herewith print it, omitting only the remarks relating to the de- 
ceased and to the joys of heaven. To every line of that discourse we subscribe, and are glad to 
present it as almost a perfect model of composition : Funeral sermon by the Rev. John Potts,

/P<5 APPENDIX 



occasioned by the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Edmonds, August 28, 1825: "To die is gain." — Phil. 
i : 21. We shall (i) inquire who those are to whom death will be gain; (2) what they will gain; 
and (3) make some remarks on the character of our deceased sister. Agreeable to this arrange- 
ment we shall attempt a definition of those characters to whom death will be gain, and in doing 
this we shall assume the position that the provisions of the Gospel are adequate to the spiritual 
wants of all mankind, and that eternal salvation, through the merits of a Saviour, is absolutely 
attainable by every child of Adam. To suppose the contrary would be to suppose that the Gos- 
pel system is both irrational and cruel, irrational in requiring that of man as the condition of 
salvation which is utterly impossible for him to perform, and cruel in dooming him to hell for 
the non-performance of that which it is impossible to do; and I would further observe that that 
which a man is absolutely unable to do (no matter whether this inability be natural or moral) 
never can be prescribed to him as the condition of his salvation, without supposing a predeter- 
mination in the divine mind that he sliould perish forever. But this cannot be. The repeated 
and positive declarations of the word of God, all that we behold of the divine wisdom and be- 
nevolence in the works of creation, all our own conceptions of the fitness of things, together 
with all the best feelings of our nature, forbid the preposterous and horrible supposition that 
the God of Love will consign a poor worm of earth to the never ending tortures of hell for not 
performing impossibilities, (i) After these remarks you will not be surprised that I rank sincere 
heathens among the heirs of immortal bliss, among those to whom death will be gain. It is 
certainly a cruel divinity that damns pagan nations to hell en masse ; a divinity the farthest 
from the benevolent religion of Jesus, which teaches us that in ever}' nation he that feareth God 
and worketh righteousness is accepted with him. For myself I have no doubt that many who 
have lived and died without having ever heard the name of Jesus will sit down with the chil- 
dren of their common Father in the kingdom of glory, in consequence of the improvement of 
that light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world, of that grace that bringeth 
salvation to all men. (2) The idiot, who never possessed the capacity to obey the Gospel, or 
to reject its proffered blessings, will be entitled to eternal salvation, agreeable to the tenor of 
this Gospel, which secures all its promised blessings to everyone that (loes not personally reject 
them. This the man who never possessed reasoning powers never could do. (3) Death isgain 
to those who die in infancy. To spend a moment in supporting the truth of this position would 
be to offer an insult to the feelings and good sense of my audience. A man that would indulge 
in a doubt on this subject must have the feelings of a brute and the heart of a fiend. (4) To 
the Christian believer death will be gain. By the Christian believer is here intended the man who 
has been convinced of the evil nature and the dire effects of sin, of the turpitude of his own 
crimes and the corruption of his nature, and who has in consequence of this conviction made 
an humble and earnest application to Him who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to 
God through Him; who has obtained redemption in the blood of Jesus, even the forgiveness of 
his sins, and in whose heart divine love is the ruling principle, [jrompting him to the faithful 
discharge of every social, relative, and religious duty. But I forbear, the Christian character 
has so often been delineated in this place that I conceive anv further observations upon it at the 
present to be unnecessary. Suffice it to say that to this character death will be gain on the 
condition of his faithful perseverance in the path of Christian duty to the end. 

[If this be true, there is no need of a future probation, except in the system of those who 
deny that human life in any event is sufficiently long to admit of a determinate choice in those 
who possess the human faculties, and live to an age of responsibility, and also to admit of spir- 
itual regeneration, a proposition which, if accepted, would carry with it the conclusion that the 
system revealed in the Bible is inconsistent or unintelligible or impracticable or untrue, accord- 
ing to the notions which individuals may entertain of the teachings of its various parts. —

Thomas Willett, afterwards first Mayor of New York, arrived, whilst yet a 
young man, at Plymouth, in 1629, from Leyden in Holland, where he had been sojourn- 
ing with other Puritans. He was sent the following year to Penobscot to superintend 
a trading house, but returned soon after and engaged in the carrying trade between the 
New England Colonies and New Amsterdam, where he is found possessing some land 
interests in 1645. He was, in subsequent years, an active friend to the Dutch, whom he more 
than once seasonably notified of the designs of the English. He was a Magistrate of Plym- 
outh from 1651 to 1664, when, at the request of Colonel Nichols, he accompanied the expedition 
against the Dutch Colony. On the change of the charter of the City of New York to an Eng- 
lish form, in 1665, Captain Willett was appointed its first Mayor, and held that oflice again in 
1667, in the course of which year, 'tis presumed, he returned to New England and settled at 
Rehoboth or Swansey ( now in the town of Seeconck ) , Mass. , where he died on the 3d of August, 
1674.* A plain monument marks the spot where his ashes repose. t
